Since 1956, the Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar Program has been offering undergraduates the opportunity to spend time with some of America's most distinguished scholars. The purpose of the program is to contribute to the intellectual life of the campus by making possible an exchange of ideas between the Visiting Scholars and the resident faculty and students.

If your department is interested in co-sponsoring, along with the Alpha of Iowa chapter, a Visiting Scholar for 2019-2020, please contact me at roland-racevskis@uiowa.edu as soon as possible. The chapter must send its final request(s) to the national office by Monday, April 15.
