ALL GROWN UP

The model has remained the same for 50 years. Connect some of the most passionate, hard-working, and innovative students on campus. Rally them around a shared goal, event, or cause. Equip them with tools and resources. Help navigate obstacles. Cheer their success. Support their failures.

Student programs have been a part of the ISU Alumni Association since the 1940s and are responsible for crafting some of Iowa State’s most celebrated traditions. The association’s student programs were formalized in 1973 as the Student Alumni Association and renamed to the Student Alumni Leadership Council in 2000 to better reflect opportunities for leadership development. Since 1973, more than 4,000 students have participated in these programs.
