#CyThx is back and we encourage all Cyclones to send a shout-out to anyone you appreciate at Iowa State!

Whether it's your super-inspiring instructor who encouraged you, your coffee shop buddy who knows your order by heart, your new lab partner, or your colleague who offers inspiration, here's your chance to give them a virtual high-five. Your gratitude can remain anonymous, or we can shout it from the rooftops. Either way, the smiles you'll create are bound to light up Iowa State.

Campus-wide recognition will occur after fall semester grade submission, which includes campus leadership. Questions? Email us at [email protected].

#CyThx collaborative recognition project partners include the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT), Graduate and Professional Student Senate, ISU Learning Communities, Multicultural Student Affairs, Student Engagement, Student Government, and Student Union Board.
