AMES, Iowa – The Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics at Iowa State University is now accepting applications for the 2010 “Women Impacting ISU” calendar. The calendar was initiated in 2007 by the Catt Associates student leadership organization as a tribute to current students, faculty and staff.

Each year, 12 women from a variety of disciplines and diverse backgrounds are selected for the calendar based on their leadership and accomplishments that have positively impacted Iowa State, said Julie Snyder-Yuly, assistant director of the Catt Center.

“This recognition is focused on the important role women play at Iowa State University,” Snyder-Yuly said.

The poster-size calendar features photographs of the honorees along with a short description of their achievements.

Contributions made in the classroom, through campus involvement or community relationships, and among students and professionals at ISU are considered. The calendar honors women currently employed or enrolled at ISU. Anyone, whether affiliated with ISU or not, may nominate a current student, faculty or staff member.

A ceremony to unveil the calendar and honor the participants will be held Dec. 9. The Catt Center will distribute 1,500 calendars.

Nominations are due to 309 Catt Hall by Friday, Sept. 18. For more information, contact the Center at 515-294-3181 cattcntr@iastate.edu.
