In this virtual event celebrating beloved religious studies faculty member, Professor Jay Holstein, you’ll hear from notable alumni on the impact of Holstein’s colorful and dynamic 50-year teaching career—and from the professor himself as he delivers his golden lecture.
Please consider a gift to the Professory Jay Holstein Scholarship Legacy Fund: foriowa.info/holstein-legacy
This fund will support scholarships, faculty, curriculum, and other initiatives that align with Professor Holstein’s decades of insightful, thought-provoking, and inspirational teaching. Throughout his time at Iowa, Holstein gained new perspectives and understanding from his students, stating: “I always felt I got more from my students than I gave them. They are thoughtful and open-minded, and Iowa should be proud of them.”
This is our opportunity to show Professor Holstein how much we appreciate all that he’s given us. We hope you’ll join us in honoring him by making a gift to this fund and sharing this opportunity with others. Together, we can build a fitting legacy for Holstein, who has had an enormous impact on our lives, and support generations of students for years to come.
