It is rarely known that Chinese students have long had a significant presence in institutions of higher learning in Iowa. As early as 1909, at least one Chinese enrolled at the University of Iowa. Following this forerunner, a significant number of Chinese students were enrolled in higher educational institutions in Iowa. Between 1909 and 1937, a large number of Chinese students sailed to America to study in Iowa. Based on local newspapers and college yearbooks written in English, this essay casts light on these early Chinese students' transnational experiences in Iowa.

鲜为人知的是，中国学生长期以来在爱荷华州的高等学府中占有重要地位。早在1909年，至少有一名中国人在爱荷华大学入学。继这位先行者之后，又有大量的中国学生在爱荷华州的高等教育机构就读。在1909年至1937年间，大量的中国学生乘船来到美国，在爱荷华州学习。根据当地报纸和大学年鉴，这篇文章揭示了早期中国学生在爱荷华的跨国经历。 ​
