STUDENTS Another record enrollment
Business Week gets shake-up
By Jenna.Hrdlicka and Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State student enrollment has increased nearly 44 percent in the past decade, a growth that has both challenged and driven faculty and administration to maintain quality with an ever-growing quantity. Announcing Thursday a total enrollment of 36,660 students, Iowa State has grown nearly 1.9 percent since the fall of last year. And with an eighth consecutive year of record enrollment, the university is searching for better ways to both sustain and retain students, all the while creating an inclusive environment and adapting infrastructure.

IRHA hosts first photoventure By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Inter-Residence Hall Association event coordinator Julia Voss stands in front of the Fountain of Four Seasons. She’s wearing a red shirt with a camera and wording that reads “Photoventure.” Roughly 80 people are slouched down in front of Voss, at the ready to run down the steps and pathway in the rain. Voss begins a countdown — ready, set, go. IRHA hosted a photo adventure Friday that allowed several residence hall communities to run across campus and take photos in identical positions.

digital scavenger hunt. “We had eight teams arrive, and each team had about 10 people,” Voss, sophomore in prebusiness, said. “They had 45 minutes to go around campus and [they] had to take seven photos. “In each of the photos, they had to have the exact same position, but in one of the photos, someone had to do something different.” Some of the participants took pictures of Iowa State landmarks, but others attempted to find more obscure locations. One group was even able to snag a photo with Iowa State President Steven Leath. After the second round, where participants had to replicate the photos, a prize was given to the first-, second- and third-place teams. Their rewards? A $50 Visa gift

“This is a brand new event,” Voss said. “And I think it’d be nice to hopefully have this be repetitive and get more people.” 10 teams were signed up for the event, but only eight made it out to the event Friday. Voss said she hopes that IRHA can sign up
200 or more people if it hosts the event again in the future. Shauna Ling, senior in mechanical engineering, participated in the photoventure with her floor, and their team won
