Questions can be sent to Katy Cran at kcran@iastate.edu.
Dayton Einck, Facilities Coordinator, Recreation Services

Their nominator wrote:
"Dayton embodies everything about what it means to be a Cyclone. He is an exceptional leader, genuinely kind to everyone he meets, inventive in his work, and is invested in the experience our students and community have at Recreation Services. A recent graduate from ISU, he comes in every day ready to do his best and create an environment that is welcoming to everyone. We are lucky to have Dayton on our staff and he will be someone to watch as he is going to accomplish big things with his joyful spirit and aspirations."

Wellness Breaks
Division of Student Affairs staff are encouraged to dedicate 30 minutes each month to focus on their wellbeing. Staff can build this dedicated time into their schedule proactively and is not intended to replace breaks staff already receive nor it is a time to catch up on work. The purpose is for staff to engage in something that will help with their current state of wellbeing. This individualized approach can help staff focus on what's most important to them. Resources and opportunities are available in this CyBox.
