Iowa State’s College of Human Sciences will host its first Human Sciences Week from Monday to Friday.   

Human Sciences week comes on the heels of the highly successful CALS week, which was held from Oct. 5-9.

The inaugural week will include a week-long children’s book drive, root beer floats for College of Human Sciences peer mentors and a lecture Monday.

The lecture, “Learning in migrant youth: Mirrors and manifestos,” will be presented by Leigh Patel, associate professor of education at Boston College. The lecture will take place from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the LeBaron Auditorium. 

The children’s book drive will take place throughout the week, and the College of Human Sciences website has information about where books can be dropped off each day of the week. 

Human Sciences Week is intended to celebrate everything the College of Human Sciences does from both the student and faculty sides of the program.
