Oswego's Colin Kowalewski to graduate this summer from the University of Iowa

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.

Colin Kowalewski of Oswego, IL was among the students conferred their degrees. Kowalewski was a student in the College of Engineering whose program of study was Civil Engineering. The degree awarded was a Bachelor of Science in Engineering.

Similar to Kowalewski, 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.

Year after year, students like these and like Kowalewski 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.
