My name is Joe, and I am a senior studying Business Analytics + Information Systems (BAIS) at the University of Iowa. I'm also a member of the Iowa Air National Guard, serving part-time while being a full-time student. I wanted to be a peer mentor to get more connected with the veteran community and help veterans transition to life at a Big Ten University!
