Iowa State sophomore returns from summer on research vessel, atop active volcano - News Service - Iowa State University

Had a wonderful time at Fellows Elementary's science night!!

Tom and Evonne Smith were both honored with Iowa State's Distinguished Alumni Award! They're on the ISU's main website! Tom is an alum from the geology department. They have been generous and given a lot to the department over the years, including a foundation that provides scholarships for students to go to field camp. Congrats to Tom and Evonne Smith!
