"The goals that I set for myself at the beginning of my trip allowed me to put a leadership focus on my time abroad. Instead of being solely concentrated on school, I was able to use my time on campus as an opportunity to grow as a leader as well."

Angela W.

Marvin A. Pomerantz, (1930-2008) a self-made successful entrepreneur, left a legacy in across the state of Iowa. His dedication to education, the State, The University of Iowa and his family were commendable. Born in1930, He received his bachelor's degree in commerce from the University in 1952.

"The University of Iowa would truly not be what it is today without Marvin Pomerantz's dedication to our public universities and his love for our institution. A self-made man, he was an example and inspiration to students, faculty, and staff alike."

~President Sally Mason
