In May more than 6,500 University of Iowa undergraduate, graduate, and professional students received degrees. These Hawkeyes have engaged, excelled, and stretched to reach their goals.
Katherine Westbrook of Wesson, MS was among the students conferred their degrees. Westbrook was a student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences whose program of study was Speech and Hearing Science. The degree awarded was a Bachelor of Arts.
Similar to Westbrook, 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, students like these and like Westbrook have pushed to achieve more and to come together for the greater good-that's the Hawkeye Way. As this cohort of new graduates ente
rs the next stage of their lives, they leave campus full of potential and promise.
