This week, I’ve talked (via email, but still) to alumni from Delaware and Maine! I’ve received story ideas for alumni in Washington, Alaska, California, Idaho, Minnesota, the District of Columbia, and beyond. I’ve heard from a couple of dozen alumni in Texas alone.
I’m still open to suggestions on all 50 states at this point, but time’s running out if you want to nominate someone in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, or Oklahoma. Those are the four states we’re visiting first, so within the next two weeks I hope to make a decision on whom to feature and then start making travel arrangements. Our goal is to do those stories and portraits between Nov. 6 and Nov. 16. I can’t wait to get on the road and get this project started.
To nominate yourself or someone else for this project, or to tell your story online, go to our VISIONS Across America website. Or just send me an email: cgieseke@iastate.edu. I’d love to hear from you.
