Faculty
Anne Taylor BS Fashion Merchandising |
|

![]() |
I chose ISU because I loved the campus, and the city of Ames suited my discriminating taste. I majored in Family Consumer Sciences / Fashion Merchandising and became more interested in the business aspects rather than fashion. I started out as a merchandise buyer and operations manager, and quickly learned how NOT to run a business. In 1996, Roger and I decided to venture out on our own. It turned out to be a great decision. |
Roger Ossian BS Marketing |

I have been an Iowa Stater ever since I can remember. It's in the Ossian gene pool. my grandfather Simon August Ossian lettered in four sports while attending Iowa State in the 1930's. He used to share his fondest memories with me, and I never wanted to go anywhere but ISU. I met my wonderful wife Carol at ISU, and now we are raising two beautiful Cyclone ladies that may also some day become part of the Cyclone family. |

I chose ISU because it offers a great program for my major. Besides the beautiful campus, the people are great here too! When I grow up I wouldn't mind having my own boutique or store. I also think being a buyer or an assistant buyer for a big brand company would be a fulfilling position. |

I chose to transfer to ISU because of the great design program. It's very competitive, so we'll see if I get accepted. I would love to be a graphic designer when I grow up, and either work for a company or do freelance work. |

I chose ISU because it is closer to all of my friends and to Dogtown University. ISU has great opportunities and a great fashion program. I eventually want to move somewhere warm and become very successful. |
