Iowa State University, founded on March 22, 1858, marked the sesquicentennial anniversary (150th year) of its founding with a year-long, university-wide celebration. Starting with kick-off events held during VEISHEA 2007, the celebration continued throughout the following twelve months, culminating with concluding ceremonies held during VEISHEA 2008.
The closing ceremonies of the sesquicentennial celebration took place on a chilly, snow-covered Saturday during VEISHEA 2008. The ceremonies included a tribute to Iowa State students enlisted in the armed services who gave their life in service to the country; a military flyover of central campus; a speech by Clayton Anderson, the first Iowa State graduate to venture into space; and the presentation of a U.S. flag that flew over the nation's capitol on March 22, the anniversary date of Iowa State's founding. The ceremony concluded with the dedication of a newly landscaped area near the campanile which included a bench and a plaque commemorating the sesquicentennial.
