IOWA CITY — Earlier this month more than 600 University of Iowa undergraduate, graduate, and professional students received their degrees. These Hawkeyes have engaged, excelled, and stretched to reach their goals.
Take, for example, McKenna Warnock. She helped lead the Hawkeye women’s basketball team to the national championship game and plans to continue her studies after graduation to become a dentist.
Or Tyler Humphreys, who followed in his grandfather’s and uncle’s footsteps and enrolled at Iowa. He’s earning a JD and heading back home to Texas to join the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office.
Or Daniel McGregor-Huyer. He completed Iowa’s REACH program in 2020 but then decided to apply as a traditional student. He’ll be getting a BA in cinematic arts and a certificate in disability studies and plans to travel to Ghana with the REACH program.
Or Mara Frieden. She’s graduating with a double major in marketing and management and a minor in communication studies and has a job waiting for her on the product launch team at John Deere.
Year after year, University of Iowa students have pushed to achieve more and to come together for the greater good-that’s the Hawkeye Way. As this cohort of new graduates enters the next stage of their lives, they leave campus full of potential and promise.
