In the past year, generous individuals, businesses and foundations have contributed more than $10.4 million to the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. This support has made it possible for the Cronkite School to offer the finest journalism education in the country and to help reshape the way that news will be reported in the future. We thank the donors on the following pages who chose to invest in the Cronkite School this year.
Giving Opportunities

Named gifts create a meaningful legacy and a continuing relationship with the Cronkite School. Gifts are used to recruit gifted faculty, provide scholarships and financial aid to talented and deserving students and deliver the extraordinary professional education for which the school is known. Named giving opportunities include: Named spaces in the new Cronkite building: Supporters can become an indelible part of the Cronkite School’s new building in downtown Phoenix by making a gift that names a suite, studio, lab, office or classroom and simultaneously provide critical program funds to benefit students. Endowed chairs or professorships: Investments in faculty chairs and professorships are used to attract and retain superior faculty as well as recognize achievements of excellent faculty over a lifetime of scholarly endeavor. Named chairs and professorships support the Cronkite School in delivering excellence
in teaching, research and service. An investment in an endowed chair or professorship supports the creation of new or expanded knowledge in the field of journalism and plays an instrumental role in training the next generations of journalists. Scholarships or fellowships: Scholarships and fellowships profoundly impact the lives of Cronkite School students by enabling them to immerse themselves in internships and professional journalism opportunities rather than work odd jobs to pay for college. Named scholarships or fellowships can be created either by making an annual donation to the Cronkite School or by created an endowed scholarship or fellowship.
