Congratulations, Fall Grads!

Graduating with a major in Communication Studies and a minor in Leadership Studies, JJ found COMST concepts extending beyond the classroom and into everyday friendships. One standout memory? Peavy rage-baiting the entire class in theories—an unforgettable COMST moment.

Looking ahead, JJ will be serving as a missionary in the U.S. and Botswana, using the communication skills gained through COMST to connect with and minister to others. We’re wishing JJ the very best in this next chapter 🌍

Graduating with a major in Communication Studies and a minor in Sustainability, Eliza found community, leadership, and lasting memories in COMST. From close connections with classmates and professors to growing skills that prepare her for life after Iowa State, her experience truly felt like a home away from home.

Next up: staying in Ames and starting her job search, where she hopes to combine communication and sustainability to help educate others on why it matters 💛

Graduating with a major in Communications and a minor in Sociology, Tucker’s time in COMST helped him grow as both a student and an engaged member of society. From meaningful class projects like a semester-long fundraiser with the Ames Animal Shelter, to building lifelong friendships and skills, COMST opened doors and pushed him ahead of the curve.

After graduation, Tucker will be staying in Ames and stepping into a full-time role with Barr-Nunn Transportation as a Team Lead/Driver Manager, ready to put his communication skills to work 👏
