Area student selected for President’s Leadership Class at Iowa State University

AMES, Iowa – This fall, first-year Iowa State University student Ingrid Gail Guevarra of Skokie was invited by Iowa State University President Wendy Wintersteen to participate in the 2019-20 President's Leadership Class. Guevarra majors in civil engineering.
Each fall, 30 first-year students are selected for the class based on 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 a variety of topics related to leadership with President Wintersteen, Mr. Robert Waggoner and other key leaders. Each student receives a $1,000 scholarship.
Guevarra is a graduate of Niles North High School.
