Alumni and Friends

Whether in corporations, classrooms, or the community, you’re out in the world putting your College of Design degree to work. But even though you’ve left campus, you haven’t left the Iowa State family. We want you to stay in touch.

There are many ways for alumni to stay involved and connected to the College of Design, your former classmates, favorite professors, and Iowa State. By keeping us up-to-date on your information and news, we can keep you up-to-date on College of Design and alumni happenings at the university.
