In May, more than 6,500 students at the University of Iowa received their degrees. Among that group, however, were more than 550 whose celebration of that personal milestone was twice as meaningful because they had successfully earned two degrees.
Ismael Leyva of Redfield was one of the two-degree graduates. Leyva was a student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and earned degrees in American Studies and History.
