The College of Human Sciences' story can't be written without you,
our generous alumni and friends.
Your diverse and rich gifts help us expand human potential and improve people's lives.
The time and talents of alumni and friends like you,
allow us to conduct research and answer important questions.
For instance, earlier this year I conducted
my research is through the Louise Rosenfeld internship program.
I focused specifically on father-child interaction
and how that affects the child's future romantic relationships.
I'm hoping that this research experience will give me an edge when I apply to graduate school.
Contributions to scholarships from alumni and friends help us achieve our goals and dreams.
I want to help people with drug
addictions, physical illnesses,
mental illnesses, have access to health care that they need.
The scholarship I received helps me to
further my education today,
which ultimately will lead me to fulfilling my goal of becoming an emergency room doctor.
I'm just so thankful that I have the
opportunity
from the scholarship that continues to
help me pursue my passion.
Your support helps fund out faculties research.
My research examines how pre-natal exercise can impact health.
The Blossom project looks at the impacts
of walking based exercise
as well as Omega-3 fatty acid
intake to improve future health for
mothers and their children.
Financial support from alumni helps make
all this work possible.
Your professional mentoring gives us
hands-on experience in our fields.
For the past two summers, I have worked with Lynn Blanchard,
who is actually an Iowa State alum, at the Meredith test kitchens in Des Moines.
Working the test kitchens,
I have learned a lot of new skills that I probably couldn't learn anywhere else.
I have learned to make a lot of unique dishes, a lot of new cooking techniques.
I'm really thankful for this experience and I can't
wait to start my career.
Your time and talents give us some more
international perspective.
Earlier this year I attended the gallery opening at the Elizabeth Quearer exhibit.
Elizabeth was here to talk about the
impacts of technology in tourism on mexican clothing.
She really inspired me to think about global issues in the apparel industry,
I'm thankful I got the opportunity to meet her in person.
Your donations make our facilities more collaborative and engaging for 21st century learning.
in the CTLT make great use of the
available technology
The stations allows us to work easily
together as a group on group projects.
It's easy to see what others are working
on and offer feedback.
Alumni funding really helps Iowa State to
provide students with the latest technology.
Your enthusiasm for Iowa State is contagious.
I actually heard about the family
consumer science education program,
here at Iowa State, from my high school teacher Miss Smith.
She had gone here years before and told me
just about the beautiful
campus and there's so many ways I can get involved.
Thanks to her influence I couldn't be
happier with my choice to be at Iowa State.
You help us turn the page in our collective story.
Thank you for your support of Iowa State University.
Thank you for being an active member of the College of Human Sciences family.
