Funding Priorities

Funding Priorities

We have several specific giving opportunities that may interest you.

Hazel Dicken-Garcia Graduate Fellowship

We have recently established a new endowment honoring professor Hazel
Dicken-Garcia, who retired at the end of the 2007-08 academic year
after nearly 30 years of outstanding service. Gifts will help support
outstanding graduate students who carry on Hazel's legacy and
commitment to research and teaching.

Journalism Library

The Eric Sevareid Library and Digital Information Resource Center is an indispensable resource for students and faculty, supported 100 percent by private donations. Gifts are used to purchase books and journal subscriptions, maintain technology, and cover all operating expenses.

Mitchell V. Charnley Alumni Professorship in Journalism

We are pleased to honor the distinguished career and lasting legacy of professor Mitchell V. Charnley with this endowed professorship. This is our first endowed professorship named to honor a faculty member and our first major endowment established with literally hundreds of gifts from alumni ranging from $5 to more than $100,000.

Journalism/Mass Communication Fund

This fund provides valuable discretionary support to the SJMC, allowing us to make strategic investments in unexpected opportunities. In recent years, gifts to this fund have provided scholarships to some of our most outstanding students.
