Cardinal & Gold Outreach Fund

In addition to this year's Gala supporting first-generation student scholarships, some of the proceeds will be directed to the newly created Cardinal & Gold Outreach Fund. This Fund will support and enhance networking opportunities for alumni throughout the country.

The Cardinal & Gold Outreach Fund will provide resources to the ISU Alumni Association to accomplish the following:

1. Raise the profile of Iowa State University and Iowa Staters 
2. Increase networking opportunities to ensure alumni are connecting, recruiting, and supporting each other
3. Provide engagement opportunities that are accessible to all Iowa Staters
4. Enhance current programs that help businesses recruit Iowa Staters to their workforce
