LETTERS: Golf deserves attention

By Lynn Sandeman

Congratulations to Daily writer Jason Miller [“Women’s squad takes on worldwide flair”] for recognizing that within ISU athletics the women’s golf team is a “good story.” As a member of the first ISU team — 1970 — I’m proud that my sport and my school are being represented by players from Iowa, Thailand, Belgium, Illinois, the Netherlands and Denmark; just as I’m proud that international and multicultural students now comprise 20 percent of Iowa State’s enrollment.

Thank you to President Gregory Geoffroy for valuing people like Marc Harding and Christie Martens who are truly committed to diversity.
