In July, the College of Liberal Arts announced the formation of the Division of Performing Arts, which brings together the School of Music and the Departments of Dance and Theatre Arts. A new web site states the division's mission, chronicles its inaugural activities, and links visitors to its academic units. The Office of Student Financial Aid has launched a new and improved web site. Students can find answers to frequently asked questions, view their financial aid history and the status of their aid application, and communicate on-line with a financial aid couselor. Students can also download various financial aid forms from the site.
Potential applicants can find information on admissions requirements, faculty, and courses.
Content will be added throughout the semester. The school psychology Ph.D. program in the College of Education has launched a new web site for faculty, students, and individuals interested in the field of school psychology. The site includes information for prospective students, the graduate handbook for practicum and internship placements, downloadable forms for practicum work, and related links. The program's graduate handbook will be added in the near future. The University of Iowa Chemistry Majors' Virtual Lounge is sponsored by the local student-affiliate chapter of the American Chemical Society.
