Dear donors,

Thank you all for your support of Dr. Jackson's legacy at Iowa State University and the three funds established in his honor. Nearly $30,000 was raised and we are incredibly grateful for the profound impact you have helped make! 

Several have shared stories of how Dr. Jackson played an important role in their lives, by offering help and support in a time of need or in welcoming many points of view from students. As an additional way to honor Dr. Jackson, his amazing and transformative work, and the difference he made for thousands of individuals, we encourage you to share your own stories of how Dr. Jackson made an impact, which will be posted on this project page in the 'updates' tab. Stories/testimonials can be emailed to fundisu@foundation.iastate.edu. In your message, please indicate your approval for your story to be shared on the Dr. George A. Jackson Legacy Challenge project page. 

Thank you again for your support and for ensuring that Cyclones now and in the future will benefit from Dr. Jackson's legacy!
