Our own Sara Nelson has been selected as one of 12 women whose leadership has made a difference at Iowa State University and will be honored on the 2024 Women Impacting ISU Calendar. Each year, a committee of students, faculty and staff –including past calendar honorees – evaluates the nomination packets to select the final honorees. The committee chose the 12 honorees based on their impacts in service, teaching, research, administration, scholarship and involvement in campus activities, depending on each nominee’s role on campus.

Sara, director of the NASA Iowa Space Grant Consortium at Iowa State University, has worked at Iowa State for over a decade and has held her current position for just over a year. With many exceptional candidates this year, the decision-making process was tough one for committee members.

Copies of the calendar are available now at various campus locations, including the Catt Center, Sloss House, Beardshear Hall and the Memorial Union. If you would like calendars for distribution at your office, email the Catt Center at .
