The Anne Frank Initiative and Clear Creek Amana Middle School collaborated for the third year in a row to teach 200+ eighth graders about Anne Frank's story through virtual reality, writing and identity, resistance, the power of reading, and visiting the Anne Frank sapling on the Pentacrest.

The faculty-led affinity groups create opportunities for faculty to advance research and teaching through a focus on collegiate issues and perspectives, provide opportunities for faculty and students across disciplines to interact and collaborate, and develop public engagement projects to benefit communities in Iowa and abroad.
