What Matters to Me and Why

We want to know what matters to YOU- the voice of our generation - and why. Students of all ages and majors are invited to express and reflect on their values, beliefs and motivations to better understand the lives and inspirations of those who make up Iowa State University and their community. Student leaders and members of the university community will talk about choices made, difficulties encountered, and commitments solidified. Presenters include Meaghan Nelson, All-American student-athlete in track and field; Ethan Subra, Cadet Major in the Army ROTC Program; Moses Bomett, founder of Hope 4 Africa.; Onalie Ariyabandhu, survivor of 2004 Sri Lanka tsunami; Katie Brown, vice president of the Government of the Student Body and ISU band member; Dave Arends, co-director of the 2013 ISU Dance Marathon; Augustine Villa, cancer survivor and undergraduate researcher; Merry Rankin, director of Iowa State's Office of Sustainability.
