Scott Kovach, as an undergraduate in Political Science at Iowa State University, was awarded the National Science Foundation’s Scholarship for Service in Information Assurance. After graduating in 2003, he has served in a variety of careers: information security consulting, tech support, quality assurance engineering, food service, construction, grocery, and retail—although not necessarily in that order. He is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Rhetoric, Composition, and Professional Communication at Iowa State University. His research interests integrate his background in Information Assurance with Visual Rhetoric and Rhetorical Theory.
