Gavin Grohowski

I am a senior at IUI studying for my BA in Communication Studies. I am interested in how communication can be used in conflict resolution and improving understanding of each other. I consider myself as a loyal, determined, and motivated hard worker. 

Throughout my collegiate career, I have learned many valuable and professional skills such as critical thinking, professional writing skills, and persuasive communication techniques. However, I feel that one of my most applied skills is public speaking. In the photo above, I participated in the 2024 ICAN Annual Meeting, a statewide conference on college mental health and student wellbeing. I also helped lead a team of motivated scholars to give a presentation at Goodwill with the topic of Interviewing. These are just some examples of me using my skills to help the community.

In my free time, I have spent many hours advancing the success Tau Kappa Epsilon, a fraternity on campus I am a part of. I have spent semesters on the executive board, specifically targeting key areas such as recruitment, teaching, and overall success. Participating in the fraternities biggest events, such as the Regional Leadership Academy and Conclave, have taught me how to be a vocal leader, and how to strive for greatness in whatever I do.
