FUNDING

Two alumni who wish to remain anonymous recently made a gift of more than $22 million to Iowa State University, benefiting a top campus priority.

The Student Innovation Center is Iowa State's top capital appropriations request this legislative session. The project is a public/private partnership, with $40 million in proposed funding by the state over the course of four years, and $40 million from private sources. This is the first time Iowa State has approached the legislature with a 50% match of funds for a building project.

The 175,000 gross square foot facility will be a highly flexible, dynamic space that encourages experimentation, innovation and interdisciplinary investigation across colleges.

The Student Innovation Center will further entrepreneurial activity by providing students across the university with space designed for start-up companies and collaborative class projects. The center will also act as a hub for student groups such as the Lunabotics Club, PrISUm Solar Car Team, and Cyclone Power Pullers. Locating these groups together will foster even greater collaboration and sharing of resources.

The Student Innovation Center will be a key aspect of improving student retention and success while enabling students to continue the Iowa State tradition of blending science with practice to engage in practical, hands-on experiences they can take into the workforce.

"We are extremely thankful to this wonderful couple for their extraordinary generosity toward their alma mater," said Iowa State University President Steven Leath. "Through their gift, they assure that the mission of this great university will be advanced for generations to come through the creation of a facility that fosters innovative, interdisciplinary learning."

Banyaknya funding!

Satu titik

Kini tiba masa.
Aku pelik.
Pelik dengan diri sendiri.
Hendak kemana.
Buat apa.
Kenapa aku buat benda yang aku sedang lakukan kini.

Aku rasa Tuhan sedang tegur aku.
Supaya aku menyerah diri bersujud meminta pertolongan.
Haih.
Bagaimana sebenarnya menjadi manusia itu ya?
T.T

Kad kredit

Aku ingat lagi masa mula mula aku buat kad kredit.
Aku taknak bergantung dekat kak aishah sewa sewa kereta ni nanti aku kecewa.
Semangat ni nak pergi daurah semua.
Then aku dapat kad kredit.
Satu daurah pun tak dijemput.
Macam tahi pun ada.
Baik aku tak payah buat dari awal.

Lepas tu yang pergi muktamar.
Semua asing asing.
Pelik lah wanita wanita di sini.
Apa ya dalam fikiran mereka.
End up aku pergi jalan sendiri.

Aku teringin nak back packing sendiri.
Habis travel winter ni aku nak buat resolusi aku.
Benda benda aku nak capai sebelum 30.
Aku bersyukur jugak Tuhan mudahkan cita cita aku.
Nampak apa yang aku buat. Hihi.
Alhamdulillah.
Tuhan itu baik :)
