College of Business to be renamed for $50 million donors

CHRIS JORGENSEN/ IOWA STATE DAILY Interim President Benjamin Allen (left) announced a $50 million donation made by Jerry Ivy (right), CEO of Auto-Chlor System, and his wife, Debbie (middle) on Monday, Sept. 11.

BY DAWIT.TILAHUN @iowastatedaily.com

The College of Business will be receiving its largest donation to date to further drive its expansion.

Debbie and Jerry Ivy will be donating $50 million to the College of Business. Jerry Ivy is an alumni of Iowa State and is now the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and current President of Auto-Chlor System, a company dedicated to providing superior cleaning solutions to the food service, health care and lodging industries.

The mission of the Forever True, For Iowa State campaign is to elevate “the quality of the ISU experience that secures future leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs.

Advancing Iowa State’s role as a world leader and pioneer in addressing our most complex challenges and enhancing the margin of excellence that sets Iowa State apart,” according to interim President Benjamin Allen.

Larissa Jones, the President and CEO of the Foundation, launched the Forever True, For Iowa State campaign early last fall. The program is a public fundraising campaign launched from the Foundation.

With the launch of the $1.1 billion Forever True, For Iowa State campaign, the foundation and the College of Business played crucial roles in guiding the set up of Debbie and Jerry Ivy’s donation.

The donation will help achieve the goals of the campaign the college has laid out. The endowment will allow for advancements in the college today and in the future.

“With this gift we are hoping to enable not only the staff and the university, but the students all the way through to be able to reach out and keep expanding their goals and their dreams with endless possibilities,” Debbie Ivy said.

The gift has prompted the naming of the College of

Under Dean David Spalding, the College of Business has raised over $85 million for the college.

Business to now be named the Debbie and Jerry Ivy College of Business, holistically renaming the College of Business. The naming will be brought to the Iowa Board of Regents in early October for approval.

“This fund will eventually provide approximately $2 million annually designated for priorities in the College of Business,” Allen said.

Under Dean David Spalding, the College of Business has increased enrollment by over 40 percent and has raised over $85 million for the college.

The flexible endowment will initially be prioritized for use in three areas: the supply chain management pro-

AVERAGE INCREASE IN HUMIDITY FOR IOWA CITIES SINCE 1971

WEATHER

Iowa humidity on the rise

BY ANNELISE.WELLS @iowastatedaily.com

%

Over the past 40 years, temperature has been increasing in Iowa. With the rising temperatures, humidity has increased alongside it.

This issue of increasing humidity was addressed in this year’s climate statement,“It’s not just the heat, it’s the humidity!”

Released on Aug. 9, Gene Takle, director of Iowa State’s climate science program and a professor of geological and atmospheric sciences, and Betsy Stone, associate professor of biochemical and chemical engineering at the University of Iowa, were the main authors of this year’s installment.

The climate statement addresses climate change as a whole every year, but covers a specific aspect of it each time.

“One of the goals is to make it a regular item to keep the issue out there, but have a different issue of it covered,” said Dr. William Gutowski, professor of meteorology and associate dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences.

Gutowski is one of the 193 professors, researchers, and faculty who signed the statement.

This increase is not a sudden discovery. According to the Climate Statement, absolute humidity raised in Dubuque during springtime by 23 percent from 1971 to 2017.

It may seem insignificant, but humidity can do more than just be a daily inconvenience. There are serious health risks that can occur.

“Increased levels of humidity create hazardous conditions for Iowa workers and sensitive populations through the danger of heat exhaustion and heatstroke,” Takle said. “Asthma is worsened by higher levels of allergens in the air and the cost of air conditioning homes and businesses to maintain comfort levels increases.”

In addition to the health risks, the threat of floods and heavier rains is also a major consequence of excess humidity.

“If you have substantially more water in the atmosphere, there’s more that can fall out as rain, so it can contribute to heavier flooding,” Gutowski said.

Not only does this humidity have an impact on the residents of Iowa, but it also affects agriculture.

“For Iowa’s agriculture, increased warm‐season humidity leads to waterlogged soils during planting season, rising humidity also leads to longer dew periods and higher moisture conditions that elevate costs of drying grain,” Takle said. “Increased nighttime temperatures coupled with humidity causes stress to crops, livestock and pets.”

Gutowski also discussed about the impact on agriculture.

He spoke about how as long as their isn’t too much moisture, it will be fine for agriculture.

“It’s not necessarily all bad, but it is a change. And when people are adapted to a certain environment climatic situation and to changes, and that means there needs to be further adaptations, and the changes might not be for the better,” Gutowski said.

Humidity is often overlooked in the conversation about climate change.

“We must all do more to mitigate the effects of climate change, by curtailing emissions of heat‐trapping gases, improving energy efficiency, and increasing use of clean and renewable energy,” Stone said.

Looking ahead, these trends don’t seem to change any time soon.

“Long term temperatures will continue to go up, and we will continue to get more humidity in the atmosphere as a consequence,” Gutowski said.

STUGOV

The man with your money Meet the StuGov finance director

BY ALEX.CONNOR @iowastatedaily.com

Steven Valentino, senior in political science, has served in Student Government for a large portion of his tenure at Iowa State.

Beginning as a senator in the Inter-Fraternity Council and also serving in committees such as finance and university affairs, Valentino has readied himself for one of the more technical positions in Student Government: finance director.

Appointed by President Cody West and Vice President Cody Smith, Valentino works with a budget of roughly $5 million during his time as director.

To better understand the role of finance director and his job responsibilities, the Daily met with Valentino to discuss Student Government’s budget and process.

Q: What are the responsibilities of your position?

A: [As finance director] I do everything an organization treasurer would do — I manage our budget and plan for our budget for the upcoming fiscal year like any other treasurer would normally do... So, the fundamental responsibilities are the same, the difference then comes because we’re a governing association of student organizations.

Finance director is really the Student Government treasurer...

The only other thing [I do] is if students want to transfer line item funds they have to come to me, and I work with COA [Campus Organizations Accounting] to make sure that gets taken care of. Other than that, a lot of it is oriented around what the student population wants in terms of money and they can come talk to me, finance committee as well, about what they would like to fund.

Q: Do you lead Student Government’s finance committee? How big is it?

A: I chair the finance committee. The finance committee is comprised of around 10 people — there are four senators that sit on it, four at-large members, the treasurer of Student Government also sits on it and then the GPSS treasurer also sits on it.

For this semester we meet Tuesdays from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in Memorial Union Room 3538. People are more than welcome to come.

Q: How much money do you work with within Student Government?

A: In the fiscal year, what I work with is the money allocated from the previous annual allocations and what gets kicked back at us from student organizations that don’t use or contracts that don’t use all their funds for the year. It’s about $2.4 million, and then I’m going to help proactively allocate another $2.5 million for the upcoming fiscal year. The next finance director is going to deal with that because those funds don’t begin until July 1.

It’s about $2.5 million in active dollars and $2.5 future dollars.

Q: What would you like students and organizations to know about funding?

A: The earlier the better. There have been organizations that have come to us saying ‘We made nationals, we’re going to this conference and we need this money now because we’re leaving Wednesday’ ... and I have to [say] finance committee meets once a week, senate meets once a week and senate also doesn’t like last minute things. It happens all the time.

But also there are things you just can’t plan for and we are cognizant of that and it happens and we’ll deal with it to what we can, but if you’re coming in last minute for something and you knew you were going to nationals two months ago, or you’re just waiting to transfer money over or request money from senate, our funding process is two weeks in pretty much all cases.

I’m more than willing to contact and meet with people — even on the weekends — but understand a lot of it is on you [student organizations] to be on top of it, because it does make our lives easier.

JACK MACDONALD/ IOWA STATE DAILY Steven Valentino raises his name card to chime in on a conversation at the Student Government Senate meeting on March 29, 2017.

Q: Would you mind discussing the Green Fund and the Excellence Fund?

A: Those are two new programs that were started under [this administration.] The Green Fund is a project that was really hammered in by Katie Holmes [current Co-Director of ISU Legislative Ambassadors,] that is for students that want to do a sustainability project or something that improves campus in general from a sustainability perspective.

This was a way we found we could create a grant process to students that want to do it, granted they would need sponsorship from a department or someone so that we could have a place to put the money and also track what is being done with it.

This is [The Excellence Fund] one of the coolest finance projects that has been undertaken in my time in Student Government. The idea of it is to engage the campus climate and do something extraordinary or bring back something extraordinary for campus because our typical funding process doesn’t allow for that.

With the Excellence Fund, the idea is to do something above yourself, or something bigger than you is what I think we’re going for and the mission of this. I think the things we fund out of that are going to be very impactful for people.

Q: Is there anything else you’d like to add?

A: Committee applications are going out soon. So, we have four at-large spots. And I would like a full committee because finance committee works best with a full array of perspectives in my opinion.

Also, don’t purchase anything with a debit card because you are not getting reimbursed.

Women of WiSE deserve more

BY SARAH.HAYS @iowastatedaily.com COURTESY OF WISE A representative speaks with students at the WiSE kickoff on Aug. 21st.

Women and men deserve to be whatever they want to be. Teachers, politicians, engineers, bus drivers — anything in the whole world should be obtainable to anyone.

So why are there still male-dominated and female-dominated fields?

Here at Iowa State, women are very underrepresented in STEM fields. A STEM field is a topic that relates to science, technology, engineering or math.

The STEM fields that women are mainly underrepresented in are engineering and computer science. Why is there such a lack of women in technological and scientific fields? Is it simply due to a lack of interest?

Multiple studies discovered that the reason why women aren’t in these fields is simply because hardly any other women are. Women don’t pursue plans to be an engineer or scientist since they don’t see any other women in that field, and it causes them to feel as though they don’t belong.

Fortunately, Iowa State has become aware of this under-representation.

In the year 1986, an amazing program

was created to help women achieve their dreams in all STEM fields. This program was and continues to be specifically designed for women in science and engineering, hence the acronym WiSE. WiSE has impacted many female students on their journey to achieving a future in a male-dominated field. From majoring in mechanical engineering to environmental science, thousands of female students here at Iowa State are involved in the WiSE community.

The science and engineering programs at Iowa State are both amazing and inclusive to everyone no matter your sex.

But still, no one can help but notice the obvious elephant in the room.

A lot of women involved in scientific fields here at Iowa State feel like they are greatly outnumbered compared to men.

“In an average class of electrical engineers, the ratio of men to women is roughly 10:1,” said Hailey Lawson, sophomore in electrical engineering.

“It’s a huge struggle when you walk into an engineering class and you only see two girls in the corner, and then all guys,” said Vanessa Keeling, freshman in global resource systems.

“It’s intimidating a lot of times, because pretty much every professor you have is a guy, so it’s harder to find role

models in this field in your classrooms,” said Hailey Waller, senior in environmental science.

This fall 6,936 of undergraduates in the engineering field are male, and 1,319 of them are female. This amounts to barely 16 percent of engineering undergrads at Iowa State being female, and 84 percent being male.

“It’s typically hard to be social in this field, and WiSE opens a very social outlet,” says Elizabeth Rohde, a freshmen majoring in chemical engineering.

Maybe if more women knew about this program, more would join science, engineering and technology fields, helping to close the gender gap that STEM fields contain.

WiSE is an organization created to take a woman’s dream to be an engineer, scientist or veterinarian, and mold that dream into a realistic future. They have meetings a couple of times a week, with the purpose of creating a network.

Considering that in 1997 women took up around 29 percent of STEM B.S. degrees, and in 2016 they contained roughly 37 percent of those degrees, I would say that slowly but surely, someday women will represent 50 percent of all B.S. degrees in STEM fields, and I hope I’m here for that day.

EDITORIAL

America needs Dreamers Just one week ago, the Trump administration announced they would end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. And like many leaders in our community and around the nation, the ISD Editorial Board believes this is a grave mistake.

The DACA program was started in 2012 and allowed those brought to the country illegally by their parents to get a temporary reprieve from deportation, permitting them to work, study and obtain driver’s licenses, according to NPR. There are about 800,000 DACA recipients and the decision to end DACA could cost the United States $280 million and 700,000 jobs, according to Fortune.

Now, Congress has six months to make a decision to keep DACA. Support for DACA should be obvious for two reasons.

First, immigrants are a necessary part of our economy — especially in Iowa.

International migration accounts for the largest amount of growth in Iowa. From 2010 to 2015, about 7,000 people left Iowa and 29,000 international immigrants entered the state. If it weren’t for this number, it’s likely the state would be seeing a decline. And as the state continues to age, immigrants will be even more necessary to replace those retiring.

Second, and most importantly, this affects 800,000 people. While Dreamers are lawfully allowed to be in the United States, they are not U.S. citizens — but we venture to say they are still Americans.

They buy groceries at our stores, purchase cars at our dealerships, provide value to our universities and invest in our housing.

Dr. Liz Mendez-Shannon, project director for Hispanic/Latinx Affairs in the

Office of the Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion, commented on Trump’s decision via email to the Daily.

“What many view as normal, others dream for,” Mendez-Shannon said. “It is our duty to be engaged in our campus community and with the privilege to empower, education and connect, we can help elevate these voices in our campus community.”

We echo what Interim President Ben Allen said in his statement. Dreamers are necessary and have benefited our campus.

He said the university is working through its “national higher education associations to advocate for a legislative solution that promotes stability for individuals eligible through DACA.” This decision affects all of us. Contact your representatives and tell them they should fight to keep the program alive.

VOLLEYBALL

Senior setter Monique Harris prepares to serve during the match against Omaha Aug. 26. The Cyclones swept the Mavericks in three consecutive sets.

MIKINNA KERNS/ IOWA STATE DAILY

Harris continues to grow

BY GARRETT.KROEGER @iowastatedaily.com

Last March, Iowa State senior setter Monique Harris took off for Colorado Springs, Colorado eyeing a spot on the U.S. Collegiate team and United States Women’s Volleyball National Team.

After a dominant performance from Harris’ eyes, the clock started.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

That clock continued for three-and-a-half weeks until an email came across her computer. The attachment to the email said everything she wanted to hear.

“I was just like, ‘Oh, OK...That’s cool.’ ” Harris said.

Harris was selected to train and compete in the U.S. Collegiate National Team-Minneapolis (CNT-Minneapolis) program this past summer.

The Iowa State senior was one of 36 players picked for the program. The CNT-Minneapolis squad, part of U.S. Volleyball’s High Performance, pipeline is considered a second tryout for the U.S. Women’s Volleyball Team, according to USA Volleyball.

During Harris’ time with CNT-Minneapolis, she was one of five setters selected. The others were Olivia Dailey of the University of Kentucky, Ashley Evans of Purdue, Kristyn Nicholson of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Taylor Tashima of Northwestern.

Harris was able to pick the other four setters’ brains and bring back some knowledge to Ames.

“Just different decision techniques and knowing I can take risks,” Harris said. “I’m good enough to make mistakes and move on from them quickly.”

While her time with the collegiate national team helped Harris grow as a player, a lot of what she learned was individual base stuff, which means she has not really shared any of the knowledge she gained this summer with her teammates.

“I kind of felt like it was more individual,” Harris said. “For me, everyone who I played with was amazing, it was really nice learning what I need to do and what I can do in certain situation.

“There are some stuff I have brought back and added to my game. But I haven’t brought back anything to my teammates.

It’s more individually.”

Harris was the primary setter for CNT White with CNT-Minneapolis (there were three teams in total: Red, Blue and White).

Harris led CNT White to a 1-1 record in pool play. Against CNT Blue, Harris helped lead White to a 46 kill percent and .283 hitting efficiency.

Against CNT Red, Harris helped her squad to a 33 kill percent. Then in the semi-final match, Harris led her team to a 39 kill percent.

“It was amazing,” Harris said. “I learned a lot. I feel like, for me, meeting new people and growing as a person on and off the court and being a better teammate was huge for me.”

Due to Harris being a senior and just fresh off her CNT-Minneapolis experience, she has been a mentor to highly-touted freshman setter Piper Mauck this season.

“Especially leadership. Being able to be forcible and lead the team,” Mauck said on what Harris has taught her so far. “Be confident in terms of the plays you are running and the balls you are setting.

“She is a good person who sets the bar higher for me. So, if she sets a good ball, I want set a good ball. She is a good leader and pushing me to be my best.”

During Harris’ time at Iowa State, she has grown tremendously as a player according to coach Christy Johnson-Lynch.

As a junior in 2016, Harris led the Cyclones with 669 assists (6.76 per game) after playing in 28 matches and 99 sets. She also averaged 1.87 digs a set and finished the season with 25 kills and 14 service aces.

After her experience in Minneapolis, Johnson-Lynch believes Harris has taken her game up another notch to start her senior season.

“I think she learned a lot,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I always think players, almost without exception, comeback from those experiences playing at a higher level because they are surrounded by all these great players and are challenged so much everyday to play their best.”

Through seven matches and 24 sets this season, Harris has assisted on 181 attacks giving her an average of 7.54 assists per game.

While Harris is pleased with her performance early on in her final season at Iowa State, she still wants to improve her game. If she does, Harris hopes that translates to her playing with Team USA once again one day.

“When you play volleyball, it is something you dream of,” Harris said. “It’s that next level up. The next step now is keep training.”

gram, business analytics and entrepreneurship.

While the supply chain program is ranked as sixth in the world, the endowment aims to focus on enhancing the business analytics program, which helps businesses grow top-line growth and improve operating performance and growing the entrepreneurship program as well.

Spalding plans to focus on growing funds for scholarships, funding faculty research and enhancing co-curricular student activities, including the Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship.

The newer programs, like entrepreneurship, lack the funding that the longer standing programs have.

However, the donation will help students with scholarships for these newer programs, along with learning about new research and growth in the world of business from the funding faculty will be receiving for their research.

Programs like CYstarter and CyBIZ will be receiving funds that will allow students to pursue their own entrepreneurial goals and also contract as consultants with established businesses as well.

“There is nothing that raises the profile of a college like being a named college,” Spalding

said. The College of Business is now the first named college on campus.

“The unique experience of each student in the College of Business would not be possible without the generosity of alumni and friends of the university,” Kara Masteller, senior in marketing, said.

Masteller is president of the Business Council and Student Government’s senior director of academic affairs.

Masteller represented the student body in addressing the gift and thanking the donors for their commitment to the college’s growth.

She will be one of the first students to be a graduate of the Debbie and Jerry Ivy College of Business in May 2018.

“We’re really hopeful and thankful for all of your support and how this is going to be used in the future for the college’s faculty and students,” Debbie Ivy said.

The Ivy family wishes to see the seed they are planting today grow and allow the college to further perpetuate a dedication to academic excellence. By investing in the college, the Debbie and Jerry Ivy wish to open the doors for opportunity to flow in for students.
