Dear ISU international students:

Welcome to Iowa State for the 2014-2015 academic year. Iowa State University is a great place to be. There are great faculty here to help you learn. We have many academic and support offices on campus to help you with just about any issue you may have. Stop in and get to know them.

Fall is a wonderful time to be in Ames. In a few months, the leaves will be changing and the campus will be alive with color. Our Cyclones will be battling their Big 12 rivals in a variety of sports, and student organizations will be busy with lots of exciting activities.

Make sure you are ready for your classes, but also save some time for making some new friends and getting involved in campus life around you. And if there is any way that the International Students and Scholars Office can help answer your questions or make your experience here a better one, please come see us.

Again, welcome to Iowa State. We look forward to helping you make this semester and your future ones successful and memorable.

Go Cyclones!

James Dorsett
