Threat Assessment


Iowa Central is concerned about the safety, health, and well-being of its students, faculty, and staff.  The College has policies regarding the well-being of all members of the Iowa Central community.  Some of these policies include incidents disruptive to our mission, classroom learning environment, or any homicidal, suicidal, and self-injurious threats or behaviors.  If you are concerned or know about a student who may be violating these policies, a referral can be made to the Iowa Central Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) by utilizing the “Report It” link to the right.  This form is not for emergencies.  If a situation involved imminent risk of harm to self or others, please contact 911 and Campus Security at 515-574-1000.

Diversity is important to me. For people to learn and grow, there must be diversity in the workplace, schools, and sports. That is another reason I wanted to go to Iowa Central; there are so many people here from across the world, all with different backgrounds and life experiences. I saw Iowa Central as an opportunity not only to grow in both academics and in athletics, but also to become a stronger person.
