Last Lecture: C.J. Holthaus

C.J. Holthaus, an instructor of English in the Department of Language, Literature and Writing, will present this year’s Last Lecture, titled “Bearcats Believe.” The lecture is free and open to the public.

Sponsored by Northwest’s Society of President’s Scholars, the annual event gives a Northwest faculty member the opportunity to speak as if they were presenting the last lecture of their career.

Holthaus will discuss beliefs that have guided her as an undergraduate student, graduate student, adjunct faculty member and instructor at Northwest. Through humor, hard-earned wisdom and practical insights, she will encourage the audience to explore their own paths to success.

Holthaus, who joined Northwest as a full-time faculty member in 2018, has academic interests in composition rhetoric, ethics in fiction and young adult bildungsroman books. She has a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Master of Arts in English, both from Northwest.
