Inclusion and innovation were among the key themes of Wendy Wintersteen’s address during her installation ceremony on Friday at Iowa State University. ISU’s first female president, who assumed the office in November 2017 following a national search, said she intends to nurture the ideal of inclusion, “and energize it for all those who come after me.” She also pledged continued servant leadership to the institution to which she has dedicated her professional life. Wintersteen reiterated her intent to build “a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem … where innovations and entrepreneurial ideas come from our students, faculty and staff, and they receive support to move those ideas forward.” To read a transcript of Wintersteen’s speech, click here. To view a video of the installation ceremony, click here.
