Funny you should mention that- there honestly are a disproportionate number of
ISU grads in the ICCSD. In fact, the three faculty members (choir director, English teacher, principal) that were my mentors in high school all graduated from here. Seeing people in education be so successful with an
ISU degree was good motivation for me to come here, too. I've no clue about
ISU grads working as professors at UI, but I know that Iowa employs tons of Cyclones in other non-educational areas, like IT, UIHC, and various business offices.
