Welcome new Iowa State students and families!

We are delighted to welcome you to Iowa State University for orientation! I hope you have a fantastic visit and that we are able to provide everything you need to get you ready to come to Iowa State this fall.

You have made a great choice in deciding to come to Iowa State University and become a Cyclone. There is no better place to experience your college years than Iowa State. The campus will come alive for you this fall, with new classes, new friends, new activities and many new opportunities to learn and grow. We want to do everything we can to help you get the most out of this experience and enjoy it to its fullest.

Our faculty and staff are eager to assist you in every way as you make the transition to your new life at Iowa State. Take advantage of all they have to offer — ask questions, get their advice and make connections that you can continue to use throughout your time at Iowa State and afterward.

Have a wonderful visit and a terrific summer. I look forward to welcoming you as new students at Iowa State this fall!
