Stories from Parents

"I enjoyed serving on the PAB for many reasons.  First and foremost, I had a legitimate excuse to come to campus and visit my son while trying to do good things for parents.  ISU is a true jewel.  I never minded trying to give some small contribution to my child’s alma mater.”

– John M. Nelson, Rockford, IL
