This spring, more than 5,100 University of Iowa undergraduate, graduate, and professional students earned their degrees. These Hawkeyes have engaged, excelled, and stretched to reach their goals — despite a pandemic.
Aspen Woodall of Meriden, IA was among the students conferred their degrees. Woodall was a student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences whose program of study was Health and Human Physiology. The degree awarded was a Bachelor of Arts.
Similar toWoodall, one pharmacy student, for example, served her community by organizing clinics that inoculated some 6,000 Iowans against COVID-19. An education student turned his online semesters into opportunities to serve as a substitute teacher in his hometown community and gain invaluable experience.
Meanwhile, a first-generation college student was able to contribute to discoveries in space and particle physics by working with a faculty researcher, and a nursing student persevered to graduate with her cohort, undeterred by a devastating boat accident.
Year after year, our 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.
