Spring brings signs of new-student success; emergency-system test set for tomorrow; and more
In IUP’s STEAMSHOP inside Robertshaw, students from all academic disciplines use technology to create objects that would otherwise seem impossible to make. Learn more about what happens there in the video STEAMSHOP: Expanding the Limits of Creativity.
A test of IUP’s emergency notification system at 10:00 a.m. Thursday will involve text messages, voice calls, and desktop alerts. See how to be added to the notification system, which is reserved for critical safety messages, including weather emergencies.
Ninety percent of new students (first-time, full-time, bachelor’s degree-seeking) have continued their studies at IUP from fall to spring, marking this population’s highest retention rate since 2010. In addition, overall enrollment is 6.5 percent higher this spring than last. See more signs of hard work paying off.
