The Center for Cyclone Civics is working to develop innovative co-curricular activities by hosting events, lectures, and forums, as well as through co-sponsorship grants for events hosted by other units across campus.

Co-sponsorship by Cyclone Civics is open to all Iowa State units, registered student organizations, and sororities and fraternities. Campus events (such as lectures, workshops, and fine arts performances) and high-impact student experiences (such as field trips, attendance at conferences, and simulations like Model UN or Model EU) that promote one or more aspect of civic education and free expression are eligible for co-sponsorship.

America at 250

From Fall 2025 through Fall 2026, join Cyclone Civics as we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Events will include lectures, performances, and public readings featuring both national voices and Iowa State faculty experts.

The 2025-2026 performance season for the Department of Music and Theatre also features a number of America at 250-themed events. Check the Events page on their website for more information.
