The Alumni Fellows program, established by Dean Linda Maxson in 1999, formally recognizes College of Liberal Arts and Sciences graduates for their outstanding contributions to society, their professions, the College, and The University of Iowa. The program is made possible by funds from the UI Alumni Association Dean’s Chair in the Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Each year, up to six CLAS alumni are honored as Alumni Fellows. They are invited to campus for a two-day visit. Each Fellow has the opportunity to visit his or her home department to speak to classes, meet socially with small groups of faculty and students, and make a public presentation based on his or her experiences since leaving the University.
