We’re thrilled to have Carrie as a faculty collaborator for IISC! She’s helped guide students in her policy courses to work with IISC partners on complex community issues such as housing and homelessness, civic engagement, gender equity, and many more.
University of Iowa graduate Carrie Schuettpelz returned to campus in 2018 as a faculty member, focused on sharing perspectives she’s gained since leaving campus. ➡️Living abroad ➡️Graduate study at Harvard ➡️Federal work on homelessness https://t.co/SS1U4EzOSk
