Off-campus learning experiences are not impacted. Performances at the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center (GBPAC) will also continue with increased safely measures. Other Iowa universities have made similar decisions. The Board of Regents will be continuing the international travel ban each Monday for a continual 30-day period. Domestic travel remains an institutional-level decision. On March 8, Governor Kim Reynolds confirmed the first cases of COVID-19 in Iowa.
