About jamie
Jamie Kapteyn was meant to be a teacher. His passion for the written word and admiration for his students made Jamie a beloved and respected educator. He spent his days and nights in the classroom, on the playing field and in the dorm, always available to encourage his students and players to do their best. When he died, Jamie’s dedication to teaching lived on. It resonates in his wife and daughters, who watched Jamie grow and prosper in his career, in his former students and in the recipients of the James C. Kapteyn prize.
