Studies program from
scratch at Kalamazoo
College.

Today, he's proud that the
program he directs has an array of
classes and other opportunities
for students.

especially when we can trace
students' post-graduation
career entry directly to our
program."

Professor Haus says Jewish
Studies at K has contributed
to campus intellectual and
cultural life, and raised the
College's profile beyond the
campus.

A side benefit for him has been

Organization and other K
students.

professor and an
academic, but
also a mentor
who plays a
facilitating
role," he
