Conflict is a normal but often uncomfortable part of all relationships. Many people would rather avoid conflict for fear of damaging a relationship or to avoid the discomfort that comes with having difficult conversations. And yet, working through conflict is key to building more satisfying relationships in both our personal and professional relationships, as healthy conflict can help us learn about ourselves and others.
Join Rachel McLaren, an associate professor in the University of Iowa Department of Communication Studies, for an engaging workshop on building conflict skills. She will share research-based information about the common barriers to healthy conflict, as well as scripts and tips for how to confidently handle hard conversations with others.

About Student Impact Grants

Longtime financial advisor Aaron Martin struggled to manage his severe depression until he discovered the life-changing benefits of psychedelics treatment. Join us for Chat From the Old Cap as we sit down with Martin and three UI Department of Psychiatry researchers on the effectiveness of psychedelic drugs to treat mental health disorders.
Professor of psychiatry Peg Nopoulos (85BS, 89MD, 93R, 94F) will moderate the discussion alongside emeritus professor of psychiatry Michael Flaum (90F) and licensed psychologist Candida Maurer (77BLS, 79MA, 91PhD). They´ll discuss the life-changing benefits of psychedelic drugs, what the treatments entail, and the promising research happening at Iowa.
You´ll also hear how Martin´s experience-from trip to treatment-inspired him to become an advocate for the positive outcomes of psychedelics.

Join the long, rich, historical tradition of artists creating in our spaces.
Professional, aspiring, and amateur artists alike, make our museum your muse. The return of this popular program series welcomes guests into the Museum of Natural History's magical gallery spaces after-hours to work on sketching or writing projects with other campus and community artists.
Tell a friend, grab a notebook, and join us on the first Friday of each month. We'll provide a new inspo prompt for each session and will sometimes move about the Museum but we'll always start in the Hageboeck Hall of Birds (Bird Hall) on the third Floor of Macbride Hall. Join anytime between 6-8 p.m. and feel free to participate in a themed creation challenge or work on your own project with our exhibits as inspiration. We'll save the last 15-30 minutes of each session to share what we've been working on, connecting with others (optional, of course!).
Please note, the Museum is typically closed during this time, meaning the main entrance to Iowa Hall (atop the large staircase outside on the east side of Macbride Hall) will be closed and locked. All other building doors will be open, offering access to the Ground Floor of Macbride Hall. Bird Hall is located on the third floor of Macbride Hall and can be reached by stairs or by taking the elevator to the third floor and crossing the auditorium to the north side of the building.
