Alumni Events

The 2025 Animal Science Tailgate was held on September 27 at Jack Trice Stadium, bringing together alumni, former judging team members, faculty, staff, and friends of the department. Hosted  on the south side of the stadium, the event featured food catered by Lynch BBQ and provided a great opportunity for attendees to reconnect and build relationships. Guests gathered ahead of kickoff to enjoy the tailgate atmosphere and show their support for the Cyclones, making it a memorable event for the Animal Science community.

The Dairy Science Club host an annual Alumni Event at World Dairy Expo every year. This is an opportunity to catch up with ISU Dairy Science Club Alumni, enjoy free food, and take a look at past yearbooks. New this year, we sent our alumni holiday greeting cards and club updates. Alumni, be on the lookout for future invitations to similar events.
