The Faculty Senate represents the general faculty of Iowa State University and participates in shared governance of the University with the administration. The senate has legislative responsibility for general academic and educational policy, serving to facilitate communication among faculty, students, and administration. It also cooperates with the administration in conflict resolution, and advises the administration on budgetary and other policy matters. Meetings are open to the public.

When the weather turns cold and gray, step inside and rediscover the vibrant blooms of spring and summer. Join University Museums docent Steve Petska at Parks Library for a guided tour of public art celebrating plant life in all its forms—from delicate florals to lush prairie—in the Art on Campus Collection!\n\nMeet at University Parks Library, Fourth floor\n

Our museums will be closed December 20 through January 11 as we refresh our galleries. Behind the scenes, our team will be busy deinstalling exhibitions and installing three new across Brunnier Art Museum and Christian Petersen Art Museum—plus welcoming back the Farm House Museum&#39\;s historic interiors after the yuletide season.\n\nWe can&#39\;t wait to share what&#39\;s coming. From tales as old as time to uses of the latest technologies, spring and summer 2026 promise fresh perspectives and new discoveries across our venues.\n\nWant to be the first to know when we reopen and what exhibitions are on view?
