Elsa Kracke, daughter of George Kracke and Marilyn James-Kracke, is a senior from Columbia, Missouri. Her nutritional science degree, from Iowa State’s exceptional program, will serve her well as a medical student in 2011. Elsa works as a Frederiksen Court community adviser, a pre-health ambassador, a research assistant, a Nutrition Club officer and a volunteer at Mary Greeley Hospital.
