Cardinal & Gold Gala

This annual event has been raising funds for student and alumni programming and first-generation student scholarships for 12 years. With the student scholarships fully endowed, this year marks the beginning of a new era. Funds raised will support Iowa State University students as they transition to alumni.

The ultimate goal? Provide one-year gift memberships to the ISU Alumni Association to every new graduate. 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.
