Alumni have returned to Iowa State for homecoming since the first official event in 1912. Since then, the campuswide celebration continues to entertain young and old Iowa Staters, with tailgate parties, fireworks, lawn displays, the “Yell Like Hell” cheering competition, and mass campaniling. Currently, the Student Alumni Association Leadership Council (SALC) coordinates the efforts of hundreds of students to make homecoming special for all Iowa Staters.
