We will start off by featuring the Iowa Space Grant Consortium . The Consortium was established in 1990 between NASA and, now, the four major universities in the State of Iowa, University of Iowa, Iowa State University, University of Northern Iowa, and Drake University.
Drake is the new one, having joined the Consortium only a couple of years ago.
The purpose of this consortium is to publicize the national space commitments and activities for which NASA is responsible, to promote the understanding and utilization of space activities in the State of Iowa, and to educate the people of the state about space and its utilization. The activities of the Consortium are directed broadly to the people of the state. And, we are. Our own Professor Bill Byrd is the ISGC Director. His office is in 408 Town Engineering Building.
