When Iowa State’s Derrick Rollins visited the inner-city home of two talented brothers and their family in Kansas City, Mo., he talked with them
about the school’s great facilities, supportive environment and dedication to success. But Rollins wasn’t recruiting athletes. He was recruiting engineering students.
Rollins is assistant dean for diversity affairs in Iowa State University’s College of Engineering. And his unique, personal approach to finding high-potential minority students and bringing them into the college has landed two of the nation’s top recruits: identical twins Jonathan and Donathan Morgan.
