Joining the IPRO organization!

Are you a University of Iowa undergraduate student interested in joining the IPRO team? Great! We're looking for a wide variety fo students with good writing and research skills. We are NOT limiting membership to Political Science or Pre-Law students. In addition to writing abilitiy, IPRO needs applicants who are able to think critically and stay up to date on current events. Student staff members are also in charge of monitoring bills of interest in the legislature, maintaining this website, and other work as needed. Don't worry, the application procedure isn't too laborious, but space in IPRO is limited, so get started now.

Please review our qualification and application procedure below:
