An exhibition exploring the cultural identity of migrant artists and their social and cultural impact on society is on display in Ames. ˆe exhibition is on display until Dec. 5 at the Design on Main Gallery in downtown Ames. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. ˆursday. ˆe gallery is closed Sunday and Monday. “In-between our four main exhibitions every year we also have a number of MFA students put on their thesis exhi- bition,” said Rachel Connell, gallery coordinator for Design on Main. “ˆis exhibition by Sang Lee is really interesting. Rather than have it all be her own work she decided to curate an exhibition. She put out a call for entry and it rotated around that theme of being a migrant artist.” “Impact: Identity, Belonging and Migration” was curated by Sang Eun Lee, an Iowa State graduate student in graphic design from Seoul, South Korea, as part of her master of ne arts thesis.

PREVIEW Iowa State’s final home test Cyclones hope to send off senior class with win BY MATT.BELINSON @iowastatedaily.com

After toppling No. 22 Texas last weekend in Jack Trice Stadium and becoming bowl eligible for a third straight season, another milestone remains for the Cyclones. Iowa State football will try for its seventh win of the year Saturday against Kansas to boost its bowl resume, but a more pressing mission will be at hand. The goal: to send the 2020 senior class out with one last win at Jack Trice Stadium. Iowa State will have 20 seniors leave the team at the end of the season — players impactful on both sides of the ball that head coach Matt Campbell describes as players who trusted in Campbell and his staff with “blind faith” through it all. IOWA STATE DAILY Campbell said that players like Marcel Iowa State linebacker Marcel Spears Jr. speaks to the crowd during a pep rally Dec. 27. This season is Spears’ last season as a Cyclone.
