The Iowa Community College Student Services Association (ICCSSA) began in 1969 with the goal of connecting and supporting student services professionals in all of Iowa’s community colleges. Today ICCSSA strives to promote high ethical and professional standards in the field of student personnel services so that we can all work to ensure Iowa’s community college students have unlimited opportunities for academic, personal and career success.

ICCSSA hosts an annual Fall Conference and Spring Drive-In to promote networking and the sharing of ideas, resources and best practices.
