The collection is used by faculty and teaching assistants to present visual information in the classroom as well as for research. The Office of Visual Materials also oversees the Thesis Rental Gallery. For the past seventy-five years the School of Art & Art History has collected thousands of artworks by artists attending the School's graduate studio programs. The collection contains nearly 10, 000 pieces, including paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures and other art objects from as early as 1939. The collection is unique in the country and provides a critical glimpse of academic American art over much of the last century.

Through collaborative engagement and outreach efforts, it is the goal of Arts Share to strengthen the arts and provide access to life-enriching arts experiences throughout Iowa and beyond. Ø COGS (Campaign to Organize Graduate Students): https: //cogs. org/ (Mark Lanning, COGS Steward)

Campaign to Organize Graduate Students (COGS) COGS History COGS represents TA’s and RA’s with at least a 25% appointment. UE Local 896 / COGS (Campaign to Organize Graduate students) was certified in 1996 by a vote of 949 -667 (59 – 41 %) The very first agreement raised wages by 19% ($2, 000) The first comprehensive healthcare plan (UI Grad. Care) was won in the very first contract. Tuition scholarships were won in the 2002 -2003 school year. Overall wage increase negotiated since certification in 1996: 55+% Members pay dues to support the work of the union at $27. 39 / month, all graduate students with 25% TA or RA appointments benefit from the work of the union. Re-Certification Recertification is a new election process where all employees that are part of a bargaining unit (whether members of the union or not) must actually vote to retain the union as the certified bargaining representative for purposes of negotiating a legally binding union contract. The Iowa State legislature passed legislation in the Spring of 2017 which included a provision that requires public sector unions to face a recertification election prior to negotiating every new contract. The recertification election will take place October 15 -29, 2018. Voting will be open online and/or by telephone for approximately two weeks. Abstentions are counted as NO votes: at least 51% of the bargaining unit (over 2, 500 graduate students) must vote YES. Without the power to collectively bargain, you have no official say in the decisions made by the Board of Regents regarding your healthcare, wages, tuition scholarships, or working conditions. Speak with Mark Lanning if you have any questions, like UE Local 896/COGS on Facebook

Rave Guardian – Department of Public Safety http: //www. raveguardian. com/ The Rave Guardian Campus Safety app allows students to create safety profiles to alert friends and family when they are walking alone. It also features a safety timer to alert campus security when a student does not arrive at a planned destination within a certain amount of time. The app has a panic button that, when pressed, alerts campus security of where a student is. Call emergency officials for help if you are in trouble, and send text tips – including photos – if you see something suspicious.
