SMILE! Oct. 26 portrait sessions for undergrads, others

Published on October 14, 2021

College of Public Health undergraduate students will have a chance to have free, professional portraits taken at CPHB. An additional open session is also available for any CPH faculty, staff, or graduate students.

These pictures are used by the college and/or departments for newsletters, class composites, web sites, professional activities, and related materials.

The University of Iowa encourages the use of face masks on campus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends wearing a face mask indoors in public settings. This guidance includes everyone – even those who have been fully vaccinated – in areas of substantial or high transmission.
