Alumni, students, and friends of Iowa State University are located throughout the world. The ISU Alumni Association is continuously learning more and more about these constituents. The Association's ultimate goals are to attract and retain members and to involve ISU constituents in the life and work of the university. Serving members is at the center of everything the Association does – from producing an award-winning magazine award-winning magazine to providing innovative ways for ISUAA members to connect online to ISU, to the Association, and with each other.
Alumni
More than 223,000 Iowa State alumni live in more than 144 countries. Ninety-seven percent of alumni live in the United States. Three percent live world-wide – from Algeria to Zimbabwe. Membership in the alumni population – those holding degrees from ISU – totalled more than 38,400 in FY10, representing 74.0 % of total Alumni Association members. (Source: ISU Alumni Association Country, State, County Report, June 2010.)
Students
Fall 2009 enrollment at Iowa State was 27,945. Fiscal year 2010 student membership in the Alumni Association reached 5,400 members. Freshmen made up the largest category of members, with sophomores close behind. SAA membership represented 19.3% of total students. (Sources: ISU Fact Book 2009-2010 and ISU Alumni Association SAA Report, June 2010.)
Friends
Friends of Iowa State are perhaps too numerous to count, but we do keep in touch with a special group of non-alumni – former students, spouses, parents, ISU faculty and staff, and others who have chosen to strengthen their affiliation with ISU through Association membership. More than 8,100 non-alumni friends represented 15.6% of the Association’s FY10 total membership. (Source: ISU Alumni Association Membership Statistics Report, June 2010.)
