STUDENT FEATURES
WHITE HOUSE #1 - For someone who had never before been to Washington, D.C., junior journalism and mass communication major Fred Love had an opportunity few will ever have in the nation's capital as he was honored with Iowa State's first-ever Hugh S. Sidey Scholarship. Love was honored at the White House in a special ceremony featuring First Lady Laura Bush and former President George H.W. Bush.

WHITE HOUSE #2 - Ben Cameron didn't know anyone at the White House. But that didn't stop the December 2006 political science major from first applying, and then, getting an internship at the White House where he worked in the Office of Presidential Correspondence.
