ME senior is commencement student marshal

Samantha Hanson, a senior in mechanical engineering, will serve as the College of Engineering student marshal at Iowa State's undergraduate commencement ceremony on Saturday, December 15. She was selected from nominees submitted by the departments to the dean's office. Each of Iowa State's colleges selects a student marshal to lead the graduating classes in to the ceremony. Hanson has chosen Gloria Starns, ME lecturer, as her faculty escort.

Hanson interned three summers at John Deere, spent a semester at the University of Extremadura in Spain, and has been involved in a variety of university and college activities. Her leadership roles have included resource management co-chair for the Engineers Week central committee, co-chair for Senior Visitation, and operations chair for Dance Marathon.
