Heimann wins Barbara Mack award

Senior Blake Heimann received the 2016 Barbara Mack Scholar Award in the Humanities or Social Sciences at the Phi Beta Kappa initiation this spring.

He has been serving as an analyst Intern at Situs Real Estate Research Corporation while pursuing his degrees in economics and mathematics at Iowa State.
