Fun

Student Government

Student Government at Iowa Western is better known as Student Senate which is designed to promote the welfare of the college in a democratic fashion and to facilitate communication among the student body, the faculty, and the administration. The Student Senate meets monthly in the Student Center. If you wish to become involved, contact the Student Activities Coordinator.

Fall Student Senate Picnic

How does a free lunch sound? Each fall the Student Senate has a picnic outside the cafeteria for all students. You can enjoy a BBQ style lunch and compete in games like the human joust or bungee run. This is a great event for you to meet more IWCC students and staff.

Athletic Sporting Events

Student Senate sponsors activities at the different athletic events. Such activities include: Fear Factor Iowa Western style, costume contests, body painting and handing out free stuff during the games.

Opportunities To Give Back

 Red Cross Blood Mobile

As a college created for the community, we take great pride in giving back. Blood mobiles are offered several times during the school year in the Student Center. Giving blood only takes about an hour…and helps save a life. Don’t forget to bring a government issued photo identification card.

Opportunities To Learn

Development Hours

Development Hours are held two times in the fall and spring semesters. Classes are dismissed for an hour to allow all students to attend. You’ll find that the topics are very relevant to your life. Development Hours are normally held in the Kanesville Arena.
