Next ISU President: Wendy Wintersteen
- Thread starter alarson
- Start date
How so?
Our USNWR rankings have been dropping the last few years and the spectre of realignment persists. Will she help in these areas?
Can she fly a plane?
This must be a new requirement. Wasn't in place for the last prez.
Waiting for that one poster to come in and say "it sucks that we let the the sexists down"
Wendy,
What are your thoughts on using college athletics as a way to improve the brand of the university? Thanks in advance and I’ll hang up and listen.

She’s an in-house known commodity. There shouldn’t be any surprises with this hire. It’s better to go with the evil you know rather than the evil you don’t know.
I will say she’s made some odd decisions that have adversely effected the ag college while pandering to big business. But time will tell.
Think they had a great pool and couldn't really complain about any of the four.
Was always impressed with interactions with Wendy and happy for her and the university.

College of Ag make huge gains under her supervision and she knows Ames and Iowa State. I would think she wants Iowa State to succeed and will work with JP to make sure that happens. Success on the field will build our brand for what’s coming when the TV deals expire.
Hard to be worse than Leath in this regard -- he was a huge d***.
Wow, I'm wondering if the committee had waited 3 more months we could have had Springsteen!?
Time will tell and what I comment is simply my personal experience and thoughts.
-Wendy has come up through extension and knows what it means to be a land grant school.
-Most of my interactions recently with her have been at ISU sporting events. She gets the front door concept, but must of course take care of the base concepts.
-A few years ago, my son was in China on an ISU scholarship for research and he went missing. Wendy and her other half tracked him down in a medical facility over the weekend.
Summary:
A great choice and give her a chance!

Somebody ask her if she’s bringing back VEISHEA.
