1010.org started as a small student idea during my first year at Iowa State. I was an international student trying to figure out buses, campus events, study spaces, and support offices, and I kept feeling like important information was scattered in too many places. I wanted one easy spot made by students, for students.
To solve that, I created YCN - Your Campus Newsletter, a short weekly update that collects events, resources, and tips that actually matter to international students. Over time, that idea grew into 1010.org, a student-led project focused on helping students feel informed, included, and less alone on campus.
