Notes
For all interested STEM related companies, ISGC wishes to form a partnership beneficial to both parties. For smaller companies, these benefits may include encouraging growth in Iowa, and engaging students in STEM related activities which may be aligned with the company’s STEM field.
For larger corporations ISGC is open to working with the company to conduct joint STEM related events or activities that benefit students at our affiliate schools, and which may help as a recruitment tool for the company. We are also willing to help post job opportunities, and are open to discussing other company/ISGC interactions which might benefit the company on a case-by-case basis.
The ISGC Advisory Committee is a non-voting committee that presents ideas and suggestions to the ISGC Executive Committee for consideration. All industrial, outreach, and government affiliates are eligible and may elect one representative to serve on this committee. This committee will meet at least once per year and feedback may be provided at any time. Interested parties, please contact the administrative team at: isgc@iastate.edu.
