Dear freshmen students,

On behalf of all our student-athletes, coaches and staff, I would like to welcome you to Iowa State, and wish you the best of luck. You are joining our institution at a terrific time, as we have just concluded one of the best seasons — academically and athletically — in school history.

I also want to invite you to become a member of our Cyclone family through the purchase of a student season ticket to one of our many sports. If you have not yet purchased season football tickets, I would encourage you to do so as soon as possible, because we fully expect to sell out of student football season tickets this year.

The student body’s support of our athletics program has traditionally been a source of pride for our institution, and we expect the coming year to be no different. It’s great to have you on campus, and we look forward to seeing you Sept. 2, when the Cyclone football team hosts Northern Illinois in its opening game.

Go Cyclones!

Jamie Pollard

Director of Athletics
