In addition to hosting the annual Mary Louise Smith Chair in Women and Politics and the Women Impacting ISU calendar reception, the Catt Center sponsors events in collaboration with other programs with a focus on women’s leadership, gender and politics, and women’s issues.
From Fall 2025 through Fall 2026, we are also joining with the Center for Cyclone Civics to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. “America at 250” events will include lectures, performances, and public readings featuring both national voices and Iowa State faculty experts.
