ISU Foundation - Campaign Iowa State: With Pride and Purpose: Virtual VEISHEA

Campaign Iowa State With Pride and Purpose

It's Virtual VEISHEA!

It's VEISHEA week at Iowa State, and we have much to celebrate!

Our year-long sesquicentennial celebration continues, honoring 150 years of history, tradition and accomplishments. The next 150 years hold great promise for our university.

Campaign Iowa State: With Pride and Purpose has generated more than $565 million in charitable gifts and commitments from generous alumni, friends and donors. This campaign is already creating positive momentum and transformational change at Iowa State.

This year, we're asking alumni and friends of Iowa State to participate in Virtual VESHEA. If you can't make it back to campus, this is a great way to relive your VEISHEA memories and share them with other Iowa Staters. You'll see below that many other Iowa Staters have already shared their stories and photos.

Here's how you can participate in Virtual VEISHEA:

Share your favorite VEISHEA memory or photo.
Read VEISHEA memories from other Iowa Staters.
Vote for your favorite part of VEISHEA online.( View survey results to date.)
View a nostalgic VEISHEA flash movie,with photos from past and present.
Take a VEISHEA trivia quiz.
Make a charitable gift to support the future of VEISHEA and/or your favorite part of Iowa State University.
