“Growing up, Gursharan Virk dreamed of becoming a fighter pilot. But as he got older, the third-year student at the University of Iowa worried he might have to choose between his Sikh faith and his dream career.

Virk returned to the U.S. for the start of his junior year of high school, and he attended Waukee High School just west of Des Moines. Unable to visit colleges during the COVID-19 pandemic, Virk chose Iowa because of the strength of its computer science program."
