Rudin Fellowship
The Jack Rudin & John
G. Driscoll Distinguished Visiting Professorship at Iona College was established
with a grant from Jack and Susan Rudin. Invitations are extended each year
to one or more outstanding scholars to serve as visiting professors at Iona
College. Brother James Liguori, President of Iona, describes the value
of the Rudin/Driscoll program: "Our association with internationally-recognized
scholars provides an essential opportunity for members of the Iona community
to expand the horizons of their own teaching, learning, and research." Those
who are designated, present lectures to the College community, participate
in faculty seminars, and share their knowledge and wisdom with Iona faculty
and students in a variety of ways.
