Career Trek to ISU
Through Vision 2020's Career Trek, Iowa's high school students
are learning about potential careers and the education they will
need to get those careers. Students begin by selecting an area
of interest, such as agriculture or engineering. Students with
similar interests then visit the Iowa State University campus
for a day. What they learn about the college campus and college
classroom helps them make informed decisions and better prepare
for the years ahead.

Engaging
Community Colleges
By engaging Iowa's community colleges as educational partners,
Iowa State University (ISU) is redefining the college campus.
With the support of Vision 2020, traditional geographical boundaries
have fallen to the wayside, allowing students at Kirkwood Community
College to enroll in an ISU degree program 100 miles away. Through
a professional development program sponsored by Vision 2020, instructors
are implementing interactive learning strategies that engage students
in new ways. And for the first time ever, ISU is cooperating with
Iowa's 15 community colleges to present basic freshman courses
acceptable to all.
