Kynzi Cole, a senior double majoring in Animal Science and Agricultural Communications hailing from Richfield, Wisconsin, reflects on her time at Iowa State and looks forward to the impact she will have in her future career.
Cole accredits her mom, a former vet-tech, for her love and passion for the animal industry. “She got me involved in 4-H and I started showing sheep, and it's just gone from there,” Cole explained. After deciding to pursue further education in the field of animal science, Cole toured multiple universities, but none of them felt quite as right for her as Iowa State University. “I remember loving the atmosphere here, from the campus to the people, it all just felt right. I remember talking with Dr. Sterle about the program and immediately feeling seen as an individual and not as a number.”
