One doctoral candidate, for example, has made great research advances in her exploration of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. A biomedical engineering student continues to work to make the world a better place for heart disease patients and for those in immigration limbo. And a student in communication sciences and disorders helped build from the ground up a free assistive technology consultation program for Iowa families of children with reading disabilities.

Year after year, Iowa students have pushed to achieve more and to come together for the greater good -- that's the Hawkeye Way. As the fall 2022 cohort of new graduates enters the next stage of their lives, they leave the Iowa campus full of potential and promise.
