User:DUKyleXY/List of Iowa State University alumni

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

{{Alum |name={{sortname|firstName|lastName}} |year= |nota= |ref= }} Editor Notes/Tips: I am pulling in a more complete list than the mainspace list currently composes. I am pulling names from Category:Iowa State University alumni. This re-structuring is being based on the Featured List: List of Dartmouth College alumni. At this time, I am not separating Iowa State Faculty and Staff into another list, although that is a likely outcome owing to the size of the ISU Alumni category. DUKyleXY (talk) 04:48, 3 June 2015 (UTC)


This list of Iowa State University alumni includes graduates, non-graduate former students, current students, faculty, staff and administration of Iowa State University. In 1872, the first class of 26 students graduated from Iowa Agricultural College.[1] Today there are over 230,000 living Iowa State alumni.[2]

Note: Individuals are listed under the first appropriate category and are not repeated.
