Join the Annual We Lead Conference!

We Lead gives Iowa State students the opportunity to hone their leadership skills, engage in interactive discussions and sessions, network with other leaders from campus and the community, and reflect on their own identities, leadership qualities, and strengths in their respective roles at Iowa State and beyond. 

The theme for the conference is "Leadership Beyond" and will focus on the many ways that leadership can show up in our lives, especially for those with marginalized gender identities. The event will feature a variety of sessions that will focus specifically on “Beyond the Binary,” “Beyond #GirlBoss,” and “Beyond Graduation,” with a keynote address from Roberta Blevins, as seen in Amazon’s DocuSeries "LuLaRich" and her podcast, “Life After MLM.”

We Lead will take place on Saturday, October 29 from 10am-5pm in the Memorial Union. 

Registration for the event is free for all ISU students and includes a complimentary lunch and a post-conference mentorship social.

Resources and Opportunities for Organizations and Officers

STARS Applications Are Now Open!

The STARS application is now open and closes on October 30.

STARS give campus and residence hall tours and can have a huge impact on the prospective students’ college decisions.

• Position: Student Admissions Representatives (STARS) are volunteer students that assist campus visits by providing campus and residence hall tours, representing Iowa State at Experience Iowa State and other campus visit programs, and sharing their student experience and love of ISU!

• Why should you be a STAR? STARS can have a huge impact on the prospective students’ college decision. Check out this evaluation from a guest: “We were very impressed with the caliber of students at each activity and presentation. The students were personable and knowledgeable. They all love their school and it was easy to see that from each of them. They, in large part, sell the school.”

• Position Description: STARS is a great volunteer opportunity, a way to share Cyclone pride, and a chance to gain valuable life skills! STARS give daily campus tours and residence hall tours to prospective students and their families during the school year. Along with daily visits, STARS also help with Experience Iowa State visit days and group visits. STARS typically commit around 5-10 hours per month to help with visits, but the position has a lot of flexibility because we work around your schedule!

• Application details:

o   The application can be found online at admissions.iastate.edu/forms/leaders.php

Get Your Organization Involved with Green Dot Action Month

October is Green Dot Action Month. The mission of Green Dot Action Month is to energize and mobilize our campus community to do as many individual and group proactive Green Dots as possible.  A proactive Green Dot is anything you do to send the message that power based personal violence is not tolerated at ISU and we are all dedicated to doing our part to prevent Red Dots. We would love your group, organization, team, department, or chapter to be actively involved in Green Dot Action Month.

Event Authorization Reminders

As a reminder, if you are planning an event that you want to promote to non-club members or the general public, you will need to complete the University Event Authorization process. You can find more information on Event Authorization HERE and in the University Event Authorization training available in the Student Organization Database.

Preserve Your Organization's History with University Archives

Student organizations play an important role in college life and have a lasting impact on the University. Because of the nature of being a student sees you leave after graduating, much of the history of an organization can be lost or forgotten over time. The Iowa State University Archives invites student organizations to partner with us to help preserve your organization’s history, including especially its creation, development, priorities, and activities.  

We value the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. All organizations are welcome and part of the ISU legacy. We particularly welcome organizations of minoritized groups and activists who have often been left out, erased, or otherwise lack a sense of belonging in archives.  

For more information on how to participate, please contact Greg Bailey, University Archivist, at gtbailey@iastate.edu.
