Historical note

Iowa State University's Office of Governmental Relations is administered under the Office of the President and serves as the University's primary link to the federal and state governments. Federal relations staff maintain an office in Washington D.C. where they act as advocates for the University, serve as a resource to Iowa State faculty and staff regarding federal policy matters relevant to the University, and help secure federal research grants. Communication with Iowa's state legislators is the responsibility of the Board of Regents' State Relations Officers. Each regents university is assigned a state relations officer whose office is on campus. The Board of Regents, in consultation with the heads of the other regents institutions, sets the state legislative policy for Iowa State.
