President Wendy Wintersteen has accepted several recommendations from a working group's proposal. The changes focus on reporting relationships, new university policies and strategies, and a university-wide network for better coordination.
The presidential portrait for Iowa State's 16th president and first woman president, Wendy Wintersteen, was installed this week in the Reading Room at Parks Library.
For the third consecutive year, enrollment at Iowa State is up, due in part to a record first-year retention rate of just over 89% and growth in first-year students. At 6,160 students, the first-year class is the largest since fall 2016.
Lucas Heitkamp joined the president's office staff July 7 as associate director of federal relations. He previously worked on the staff of U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds, South Dakota.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will lead the universitywide program, an outcome of one of the state Board of Regents' 2023 directives on diversity, equity and inclusion.
