ORIENTATION GUIDE: Letter from Hillary Kletscher

Hey fellow Cyclones!

Welcome to your new home. Your years to come at Iowa State are going to be greater than you can imagine. The opportunities are limitless, but there will be challenges along the way. The Government of the Student Body is here to help with those challenges. GSB represents all students, advocates on their behalf to administrators and government officials and provides financial support to many student organizations.

We want to know about your experience at Iowa State. We want to know how the adjustment to college life goes for you, the good and the bad. When you reflect on your first few months at Iowa State, tell us what you wish you would have known before you started college. GSB even has a Director of New Student Outreach, Carter D. Collins, and his entire objective is to hear from you. You can reach him at [email protected].

I’m sure you’ve heard a lot of advice, but there is one thing that can allow all of us to be successful. Get to know your fellow Cyclones. Not just other new students, but Cyclone Aides, student leaders and peer mentors. We all want to see each other succeed and a strong network of encouraging peers allows us to do just that.

I’m here to serve you, and so is the rest of the Government of the Student Body. Learn more at gsb.iastate.edu or come visit us in the West Student Office Space of the Memorial Union.

In Cardinal & Gold,

Hillary Kletscher

President, Government of the Student Body
