Advice for incoming students: Be open-minded and keep trying new things, think about your education as a personal and professional growth experience. Seek out courses and activities that excite you and make you want to learn more; don't think you have to pursue certain opportunities because they fit you into a certain pathway mold. The University of Iowa has so much to offer besides the courses required for your major, so try new things out, you might just find a new love for something you never thought of!
