User:DUKyleXY/List of Iowa State University alumni

{{Alum |name={{sortname|firstName|lastName}} |year= |nota= |ref= }} Editor Notes/Tips: I am pulling in a more complete list than the mainspace list currently composes. I am pulling names from Category:Iowa State University alumni. This re-structuring is being based on the Featured List: List of Dartmouth College alumni. At this time, I am not separating Iowa State Faculty and Staff into another list, although that is a likely outcome owing to the size of the ISU Alumni category.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

This list of Iowa State University alumni includes graduates, non-graduate former students, current students, faculty, staff and administration of Iowa State University. In 1872, the first class of 26 students graduated from Iowa Agricultural College. Today there are over 230,000 living Iowa State alumni.

Note: Individuals are listed under the first appropriate category and are not repeated.
