Marek selected for Iowa State University President?s Leadership Class

AMES ? This fall, first-year Iowa State University student Macy Marek of Riverside was invited by ISU President Steven Leath to participate in the 2015-16 President?s Leadership Class. Marek majors in agricultural business and agricultural education.

At the start of each school year, 30 first-year students are selected for the class on the basis of high school leadership experience, academic achievement, and involvement in school and community service. The President's Leadership Class builds on these abilities and experiences, serving as an important training ground for students who will go on to become campus leaders, and ultimately, leaders in their professions and communities. The class meets weekly in The Knoll, the president's residence, to discuss the meaning, practice and responsibilities of leadership. Each student receives a $1,500 scholarship.

Marek is a graduate of Washington High School.
