Jodi Cornell, Director of Iowa State’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences {CALS} Study Abroad

Programs, spoke at a recent Ames Golden K Thursday weekly meeting which continues to be held virtually via ZOOM. Study Abroad gives ISU students the opportunity to study and live in a foreign region of this world.
COVID-19 has curtailed many of the 2020-21 Study Abroad programs, but not completely. Mr. Cornell shared details/statistics which demonstrate how important it is for ISU students to enroll in Study Abroad, and the many benefits– professional, educational and personal each student will realize from their participation. The first international program for CALS students was in 1964, and all travel was to European countries. Beginning in 1980 the program was expanded to Asian countries, and now the program includes Central/South America, Australia, New Zealand plus Caribbean countries.
During 2018-19, 1,817 students studied abroad, 442 of whom were CALS students. In a recent survey, 96% of Study Abroad students agree that studying abroad is a good investment. The programs a student can choose are varied in content and length.
Most programs include a professor who travels with the students. Sometimes plans have to change if there is unrest, etc. in a country scheduled for Study Abroad.
Financial aid for studying abroad is available through scholarships/grants. Passport and other fees are reimbursed. ISU also has a donor program which offsets costs.
Ames Golden K members applauded {virtually} Mr. Cornell’s excellent presentation.

On September 4th, 12 Ames Golden K Kiwanis members plus other Kiwanians from Division 11 Kiwanis spent the morning at Ames new All-Inclusive Park and Miracle League Field cleaning up the grounds and planting flower beds. The park and field are nearing completion with all work expected to be completed within 2 to 3 weeks. After construction is completed, the park/field will be turned over to the City of Ames and should be available for public use. A dedication program will be scheduled later. The Ames Golden K Kiwanis Club has donated over $35,000 to the park/field. Combined with other donations from other local Kiwanis Clubs, the “home” dugout for the Miracle League Field will be named the “Kiwanis Dugout.” A Miracle League program will be established at a future date.
