Approximately 125 people attended the event in person, with another 109 watching the program via livestream.

At the reception, honorees were given certificates to commemorate their placement on the calendars, as Arwa Hassan, Catt Center public relations/events planning intern, read some of the contributions to the Iowa State community made by each honoree that were included in their nomination letters.

Thanks to the generosity of 2022 honoree Pamela Newsome, the 2022 honorees were also presented with two roses to share with their nominators.
