Associate Professor Jill Castek was named the Jewell M. Lewis Endowed Distinguished Professorship in Literacy

Aug. 1, 2020

Associate Professor Jill Castek was named the Jewell M. Lewis Endowed Distinguished Professorship in Literacy. Lewis, for whom the professorship is named, devoted many years to supporting education in Arizona. She was especially passionate about reading, spending five years as the reading director of Coolidge Public Schools. She also was active in broadcast television, inducted into the Arizona Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame in 1994, involved in organizations to support women, and as an alumni of the University of Arizona. We are grateful to the Lewis family for the establishment of this professorship.
