The first level of support is your academic advisor. They help you make the most of your experience at Iowa State. Academic advisors guide prospective students and families on programs, orientate new students to the university, and support current students as they progress through Iowa State. Your advisor can connect you with resources on campus and in the community to help you develop decision-making, problem-solving, and self-advocacy skills

Connections
Get connected to a small group of people with common academic interests by joining one of the university’s Learning Communities (LC). A learning community can give you an opportunity to get to know faculty and staff a little better. You can also participate in community service projects in most LCs. You’re likely to become friends with the people in your LC because you’ll see them more frequently and in some cases you may live near them.
You can also join one of hundreds of different clubs and organizations by finding one that piques your interest at the official Iowa State Student Organizations website.
Language Studies Resource Center (LSRC)
The LSRC provides students and faculty with resources and services to improve the quality of their language learning and teaching experiences online, in the ISU classroom, and in the LSRC facilities. Find out more about the LSRC and how it can help you and your learning.
