We are so sad to announce that we have made the difficult decision to cancel Cyclone Family Weekend that was scheduled for September 18-20, 2020. This decision was made to best align with the university guidelines for physical distancing. We understand that this may be another item on a long list of things that have been canceled that you were looking forward to. We too are feeling sad and upset about not having the same kind of experience you imagined for Cyclone Family Weekend.

We have a great group of creative and eager students that are already thinking of ways to celebrate our families this fall virtually. Watch our social media for more information on how you can participate.

* IMPACTS...Frost and freeze conditions could kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...For Saturday morning... expected wind speeds of 10 to 20 mph will drop wind chill values to the mid teens to low 20s across much of Iowa... especially northern Iowa.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. Those that have in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above-ground pipes to protect them from freezing.

Hi Cyclone Fans! We would like to announce the Haack family as our 2019 Family of the Year! The Haack family have been Cyclone fans for years. Scott is a 1995 graduate from Iowa State. The Haack family love going to Iowa State sporting events. Scott and Delaine have two kids, Ashlyn and Alexander. When Ashlyn was two months old they attended an Iowa State Football game. Being their first child they were cautious about who held their new baby. But when they saw the opportunity for Ashlyn to be held by Cy, they took it! Ashlyn is in the Iowa State Marching Band and her brother Alexander will be attending Iowa State in the fall. The Haack family spent part of their winter break at the Alamo Bowl where they could only pack cardinal and gold, as a rule made by Scott. Congratulations to the Haack family!
