Faces and Places

Faces and Places of Iowa State University

We’re proud of who we are and of the people who have come before us. The legacies left by Iowa State’s greats: Carrie Chapman Catt, George Washington Carver, Jack Trice, and John Atanasoff are cherished.

We’re also proud of how we look! We have a tradition of beauty. Our campus has been recognized as one of the most beautiful in the country; in 1999 the American Society of Landscape Architects designated our campus as “medallion site,” one of the most beautiful in the country.
