THE CIRCLE

CIRCLE: A group bound by a common tie.

– Miriam Webster Dictionary

Illis qui praefuerunt (for those who have led)

Established Oct. 29, 1999, The Circle recognizes the Iowa State University Alumni Association’s former presidents (now chairs) and executive directors (now Talbot Endowed ISUAA president and CEO), as well as spouses of deceased ISUAA leaders and long-serving members of the ISUAA staff, for their continuing efforts on behalf of the university and the Alumni Association.

The Circle Creed

We, the former leaders of the Iowa State University Alumni Association and Board of Directors, through membership in this newly formed society, recommit ourselves this day to the work and aspirations of the Association. We pledge to work alongside the Association staff and board as they strive to make Iowa State University stronger, provide opportunities for others to experience Iowa State, be the voice of history and traditions of the Association, and help Iowa State University carry out its vision. We further accept the following responsibilities of Circle membership: 1) To establish an ongoing relationship with the Alumni Association; 2) To keep up to date on Alumni Association matters; 3) To serve in an advisory capacity to the Association; and 4) To join with the Association in providing feedback to the university on items of mutual interest.

We ultimately pledge our ongoing loyalty to and support of Iowa State University and the Iowa State University Alumni Association.

Signed on March 3, 2001.
