爱荷华中心的前两周课程正如火如荼地进行着。

为了欢迎学生回来，校园和道奇堡社区举办了各种各样的活动。

“The big thing is student engagement in these first few weeks,” said Brandon Bush, Student Activities assistant director at Iowa Central. “We want to give both our on and off-campus students opportunities to meet and be involved and really feel at home with things they want to participate in.”

活动于8月28日星期一开学第一天开始，晚上在Triton咖啡馆外的草坪上进行野餐和游戏，随后在8月29日星期二，心理师/催眠师Brian Imbus在学生资源中心招待学生。

对许多学生来说，一个亮点是8月31日星期四在疯狂堡举行的返校狂欢。 Students were given free two-hour passes to experience many of the activities Fort Frenzy has to offer, taking part in games, bumper cars, miniature golf and go-karts along with free Godfather’s Pizza and treats provided by Great Western Dining.

以爱荷华中心体育赛事为主题的学生参与也是校园最初几周的重要组成部分，让学生们参加排球和足球比赛。 “Color Rush”是8月30日（周三）举行的一场主场排球比赛的主题。

前两个星期五在SRC举办了免费食物星期五，并有食物和意识演讲者，并将在整个学年举行。

9月5日（星期二）在当地场地举行了约150人参加的沙滩排球比赛，9月6日（星期三）在校园举行了社区和俱乐部博览会，各种校园和社区服务、俱乐部和组织参加了活动，让学生们看看爱荷华州中央和福特道奇社区所提供的东西。 9月7日星期四晚上，活动在SRC的宾果和披萨之夜落下帷幕。

布什说，这些活动都受到好评。

“The engagement of students has been very good,” he said. “We had over 1000 at the cookout on the first day, gave out 450 passes at Fort Frenzy and have had around 400 students at the volleyball games. Coming to college can be a huge change for the students and this is a great opportunity for them to know that Iowa Central welcomes them.”
