The 25-Year Club was founded in 1915 and formally organized in 1934 under the director of the late Harold E. Pride, then secretary of the Iowa State College Alumni Association. The purpose of the club was, and is, to honor the loyal service of Iowa State University faculty and staff.

The activities of the club are coordinated by the Office of Retirement Information and Planning. If you will have been with Iowa State University for 25 years, as of December 31, 2006 and want to verify your eligibility, or if you'd like more information about the club or the upcoming banquet, please call Pam Mundt at 515-294-1070.
