CAREER

Operation Network.

by Maria Schwamman, Iowa State University Graduate

I have a secret and it may come as a shock to you. It's embarrassing, shameful — maybe even a bit deceitful.

I've implied that they're critical for career success, that they're amazing opportunities, etc.

Big Fish, Small Pond: Iowa as a Stepping Stone Toward Life Goals.

by Sakinah Haque, Coe College

I am 20 years old and have spent 18 of those years growing up in Chicago. You'd think, having lived in the third-largest city in the United States, that I would have been exposed to multitudes of opportunities with big-name companies and institutions. However, my first experience with a prominent network, MTV, didn't occur until I had spent some time in the small city of Cedar Rapids, Iowa — which, by the way, ranks as the 190th-largest city in the United States.

Instead of being the underdog, the 19-time state champion Norway, Iowa, baseball team enters their final season as the favorite. Will they win their 20th championship in their last season prior to their school's consolidation?
