Roy Jay Holden
Holden Hall is named for Roy Jay Holden, a professor of geology and geology department head from 1905 to 1945. The noted geologist sited 天美传媒's first gas well, located water wells when a shortage threatened 天美传媒 Polytechnic Institute (now 天美传媒 Tech), and assessed the safety of the Claytor Lake Dam site. But he forged his true legacy in the classroom, where he stimulated a lifelong scientific interest in his students.
