Gail Zehr

Associate Director of Recruitment and High School Relations

"I love helping high school students get a head start on college by letting them know college courses they can take while still in high school."

@ Hawkeye

I have the opportunity to help high school students take college-level courses while they are in high school. I also help create the marketing materials you receive in the mail or when you are visiting with me.

You may also see me if you schedule a campus visit or attend an Experience Hawkeye Group Visit Day.

My most memorable moment at Hawkeye was the first time I saw a student from one of my high school visits at an Experience Hawkeye event. She told me my visit and Experience Hawkeye convinced her to go to Hawkeye.

I've been at Hawkeye since 2003.
