My name is Lacy Dierking, and I am a second-year student at the UI College of Pharmacy. I currently serve as the President-Elect for the Student Leadership Council at the College. I was born and raised in Kansas and graduated from Kansas State University with a bachelor's degree in biology. I chose to attend pharmacy school at the University of Iowa because of the community, the campus, and the supportive environment that I felt from day one. I enjoy learning, being engaged within the college, and giving back whenever I can. Outside of school, I enjoy waking my dogs, exploring new places, and birdwatching.
