Description

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
Cyclones everywhere will be "playing it forward" at the Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center in Des Moines for the 2024 Cardinal and Gold Gala on Feb. 9, 2024.

This annual event has been raising funds for student and alumni programming and first-generation student scholarships for 13 years and will continue to do so with the endowment fully funded. Funds raised this year will support Iowa State University student and alumni outreach and engagement. Specifically, creating connections for students as they transition to alumni and begin navigating the world.

The end game? Provide one-year gift memberships to the ISU Alumni Association to every new graduate that also includes specially created monthly podcasts focused on topics new grads need to know during that first year after college. Membership provides a firm foundation for Iowa Staters to launch their professional careers, make meaningful connections in their communities, and be inspired to larger service to and for their home university.
