2020 Professional & Scientific Council Elections
Lynne Campbell, Extension and Outreach
Lynne Campbell is a Program Coordinator/STEM Education Liaison for ISU Extension and Outreach, working on projects that support the development and implementation of STEM-focused learning experiences for youth and adults. She works closely with ISU and USDA researchers and youth development staff on campus and across Iowa. Through grants with the National 4-H Council, she led teams of ISU and USDA staff and researchers and is the lead author for the 2020 Water Connects Us All Challenge, 2018 Ag Innovators Experience Monarchs on the Move Challenge and the 2019 Ag Innovators Experience Native Bees Challenge. In collaboration with the 5 implementer states, over 20,000 youth were reached the past two years.
She has several grants with the Iowa DNR called the Monarch Eggs Project where students rear monarch eggs through the life stages of caterpillar to chrysalis to adult butterflies with a focus on citizen science. To some of youth, she is known as “The Caterpillar Lady.” Through a grant with Prairie Lakes Area Education Agency, Lynne works with PK-12 science educators to implement the Next Generation Science Standards.
The best part of her role is witnessing youth and adults who are excited about learning because the experiences are interesting and engaging. Lynne loves building partnerships between ISU and other organizations and would use that approach when serving on the P & S Council. Lynne welcomes the opportunity to work across campus foster collaborative relationships.
