A Message from President David Cook

Dear Iowa State Community,

As we begin a new academic year, I want to welcome all Cyclones, whether you're joining us for the first time or returning to campus.

Please take a few minutes to watch my fall semester video message, where I reflect on my first months as president and share my excitement for the year ahead.

I also invite you to save the date for my presidential installation on Oct. 1 at C.Y. Stephens Auditorium.

Let's have a great year and go Cyclones!

David Cook
President
