Our first workshop kicks off with an inside look at college life, helping students imagine themselves on campus. Through hands-on activities and guided discussions, participants explore different majors, build mock class schedules, and tour key spots at the University of Iowa.

Whether sprinting, jumping, or cheering from the sidelines, students leave with a better understanding of college life, the discipline behind athletics, and how their passions can shape future paths.
