The Pease Family Scholar endowment was established by Dean A. and Sally C. Pease in 1991. Dean Pease was a long-time faculty member in the department and chaired what was then the Department of Health and Human Performance (now Kinesiology and Health) from 1987 until 1990. Prior to his untimely death in 1994, Dean and Sally established an endowment in memory of Dean’s parents, Harvey and Bomell Pease. This endowment supports three programs that benefit students and faculty at Iowa State University in perpetuity.
