Iowa State Getting $5 Million Gift From Land O'Lakes Foundation
USAgNet - 05/02/2018
The Land O'Lakes Foundation has made a $5 million commitment to Iowa State University that will improve the quality of an Iowa State education, attract and retain top faculty and research talent in supply chain management, and inspire innovation in key areas
on Iowa State's campus.
A significant portion of Land O'Lakes' gift will support construction of the Student Innovation Center, the approximately 140,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art building that will serve as the hub on campus for hands-on projects where students can collaborate
across a wide range of disciplines.
Part of Land O'Lakes' commitment will also support scholarships in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, as well as provide flexible funding to facilitate future interactions with students. Lastly, the gift will establish a named endowed professorship in the
Ivy College of Business for a faculty member who will further elevate Iowa State's top-rated supply chain management program.
The Land O'Lakes-Iowa State relationship began almost 40 years ago. Since then, Land O'Lakes, Inc. and the Land O'Lakes Foundation have continued to support Iowa State, primarily people and programs in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and
the Ivy College of Business. Most recently, Land O'Lakes funded undergraduate scholarships for women and minorities in agriculture and business, as well as a fellowship to support women and minority graduate students in agriculture and the life sciences.
