February 17-21, 2025 Leadership in Action Week
Students, faculty/staff, leadership, and supporters of Iowa's community colleges will raise awareness about these institutions' impact during our Leadership in Action Week. Mark your calendars for our Student Legislative Seminar (2/18, 2-4pm); Phi Theta Kappa Awards (2/18, evening); and Community Colleges Day on the Hill (2/19, 7:30am-12pm). Another important way to participate is contacting legislators, sharing stories, and rallying campuses and communities to speak out on the importance of Iowa's community colleges. All of our statewide network joining in and speaking up will make a difference and support our legislative priorities for even more Iowans to find success from learning and earning opportunities in our state.
