Speakers Bureau

We'll talk.

With a campus full of artists, teachers. economists, historians, veterinarians, writers, physicists, musicians, microbiologists, and experts in hundreds of areas, we can talk about almost anything.

The weather. The web. High-speed computing. Preventing violence. Raising kids. Age-proofing a home. Wind energy. Church Architecture. Mad Cow Disease. Laughing away stress. Robots in the factory. How men talk. How women talk.

You name the topic and we'll help you find a speaker for your civic, service or professional group. Give us a call at the Iowa State University Speakers Bureau (515-294-5992) ... and we'll talk.

We'll walk.

Campus tours and demonstrations also are available through Speakers Bureau.

Your group can learn to identify trees. Watch a glassblower work. Stargaze. Drop by the insect zoo (petting allowed). Boss a robot. Build a Lego hotel. Pet Pokey, the new steer at Vet Med. Spy on the earthworm colony. Check out the raindrop tower (umbrellas optional). And much more.
