Distinguished Alumni Award Winner Profile

Martha Van Nostand, during her 26-year tenure as House Manager of Hillcrest Residence Hall, touched the lives of thousands of University of Iowa students. It seems fitting that her nominations for recognition as a Distinguished Friend of the University of Iowa were to come from the students themselves. A graduate of Parsons College, Miss Van Nostrand has been widely recognized as a friend who treated each student resident individually and with understanding of the various problems involved with college life. The students praised her enthusiasm and her willingness to extend effort in their behalf in all endeavors.
