As the FIRST land-grant university in the nation, Iowa State has a rich heritage of educating students, discovering new knowledge, and sharing that knowledge to make Iowa and the world a better place.
You are given the coordinates to six locations on the main ISU campus. Look for the signs that tell us all about ISU's FTFs! Go to each location and FIND the FIRST word after the FIRST occurrence of the word 'FIRST'. Don't use any words from the title on the sign, just the words in the information. Once you FIND all six words, match the numbers from the locations coordinate's code to the corresponding word and solve to FIND the final coordinates. The majority of this walk is handicap accessible. The last few feet to the cache are off of a trail.
