Pretty cool.
Time to get out some ice skates -
Re: Interactive greeting card from President Geoffroy
I'm surprised they hire somebody to make that. Surely some students could do it for a project.

Re: Interactive greeting card from President Geoffroy
Very well done.
Not realistic. Those stupid swans should have been attacking the figure skaters. That's what they would have done in real life.

Re: Interactive greeting card from President Geoffroy
Have they taken the aerators out of Lake LaVerne to allow skating again, or is that just for seasonal propaganda purposes?
Either way, I enjoy seeing this done every year, and feel it is a nice gesture.

It's pretty. Makes me miss Iowa and campus, especially since I won't be home for Christmas this year. Ditto the comments about ice skating.

Call me old fashioned but I like the regular cards he used to send. You open it up and a life-size President Geofroy pops up.

I really liked the one from a couple years ago where they had the campanile version of "Bells of Iowa State" playing in the background.
Green hills for thy throne, and for crown a golden melody/Ringing in the hearts of all who bring thee love and loyalty/Dear Alma Mater, make our spirits great True and valiant like the bells of I-O-WA STATE!
And thank you Stumpy for this:  -

I am also nostalgic about my college campus experience. However, with so many students living off campus these days, I wondered if it might be changing. I don't find today's students nearly as caught up in the campus traditions as previous generations.

And if they are allowing people to ice skate on Lake Lavern, I'll be making a trip to Ames this month. That is something I always wanted to do.

My dad is still sentimental about it here. There have been a couple of times that he has gone over to the campanielle just to hear the bells. I love it hear and will miss it dearly when I graduate.
