Molly Lihs, Secretary
Program(s) of Study: Political Science and English, with a minor in International Relations
Fun Fact: Molly works at Iowa Law.
Molly is a junior double-majoring in Political Science and English with a minor in International Relations. She enjoys reading, anything green, all kinds of music, traveling, The Big Bang Theory, and eating more fettuccine alfredo than humanly possible. A fun fact about her is that she works for Iowa Law!
Molly came to Calvin Hall because her sister (UIVA president, Morgan Lihs) told her that she could get free coffee and printing there. She ended up meeting the most fantastic people and loved working with other UIVA members, and now she spends all her time between classes there! Her advice to people thinking about getting involved is to come to UIVA meetings, as well as events/activities! We love when new people come to Calvin and we can’t wait to get to know you!
