New Faculty Member Welcome

Your Partner in Teaching, Researching, and Mentoring Graduate Students and Post-Doctoral Scholars

Welcome to Iowa State University. As a graduate faculty member, we know you will be actively engaged in teaching, researching, and mentoring graduate students and/or postdoctoral scholars. We would like to take this opportunity to share some of available resources that you can refer your students to. 

This page serves as an introduction to the wealth of resources and services your graduate students and postdocs can access for free during their time at Iowa State University.

Thesis/Dissertation to help your graduate students succeed

All theses and dissertations must adhere to the Graduate College guidelines for formatting, digital accessibility, and research and publishing ethics (e.g. copyright, ethical text-reuse, shared authorship). CCE has extensive support for everything from brainstorming to productivity strategies, to formatting the finished document.

Our templates incorporate best practices for research and publishing ethics and digital accessibility. Using our templates can minimize the need for formatting changes before students upload their final documents to ProQuest and the University Library's Institutional Repository.
