Meet the Bloggers
Meet our Bloggers Kate "The one to blame for this" Kate has worked for the ISUAA since November 2003. Her current title is Associate Director of Communications, which involves coordinating this blog (among other less fun but more important things). She is perhaps best known in alumni circles for recently modeling a nightshirt and slippers for the Alumni Collection. She used to be the only member of the ISUAA staff with the initials "K.B.," so she still signs things that way and confuses the heck out of everyone. View Kate's CySpace profile Jeff "The 'Cyclone Power' Guy" When he's not blogging on this Web site or doing Cyclone Aerobics, Jeff enjoys running the ISU Alumni Association. He has been the ISUAA president since 1999. Among his most noteworthy achievements is getting his head stuck in a curtain wall at the International House of Pancakes. View Jeff's CySpace profile  Carole "The Magazine Maven" As the Alumni Association's chief communications officer, Carole's baby is VISIONS magazine...but we're letting her invade the Internet for this project. Carole, who first joined the Alumni Association staff in 1997, once caught an Alaskan salmon with her bare hands. View Carole's CySpace profile  Kurt "The one who advises the students" Kurt has been the Student Alumni Leadership Council's adviser since May 2007 and spends lots of time with current students, so he is therefore by transitive properties the coolest member of the staff. A native of Otley, Iowa, Kurt lived in a fraternity that was twice the size of his hometown while he was an ISU student. Kurt's initials are K.B. View Kurt's CySpace profile  Deanne "The half-timer" Deanne knows a lot about halftime. She's sat through many halftimes as a Cyclone fanatic, and she works for the ISUAA on a half-time basis to allow her ample time for driving her two children, and often their assorted friends, around Ames. Deanne grew up on a farm in western Iowa and was a 4-H-er for nine years. View Deanne's CySpace profile  Katie "Yet another blogger with the initials K.B." Katie, who has a super long job title, began working for the ISUAA's outreach and events team in January 2008. In addition to being a member of the winning 2008 Cy's House of Trivia team, she also won her eighth grade spelling bee and was the Reserve Grand Champion for her mallard ducks at the 1994 Jasper County Fair. Upon graduation, her peers at Colfax-Mingo High School voted the her "Oldest Looking" member of the senior class. View Katie's CySpace profile  Ashley "The soon-to-be alum" Ashley, who is the vice president of the Student Alumni Leadership Council (SALC -- and that's S-A-L-C; please don't call it "salk") and the student representative to the new Young Alumni Council (YAC -- and that's not the hairy animal) is graduating with her chemical engineering degree in May. She already has a job lined up with General Mills in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In the meantime, Ashley is learning to play the Campanile. "It's one of my favorite traditions," she said.
