Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication
2012-2013 Endowment Board of Trustees Executive Committee
Board Members Since its inception in 1983, the Cronkite School Endowment Board of Trustees has played a pivotal role in advancing the school’s mission and elevating Cronkite to national prominence. The board is composed of top media leaders from the Phoenix metropolitan area and includes newspaper editors and publishers, television and radio station general managers, magazine editors and publishers, public relations executives and other industry executives — all of whom contribute time, talent and financial resources in support of the school and its students. Board members serve as mentors to students, offer numerous internships, hire Cronkite graduates, facilitate community partnerships and advise the dean. They also organize and host the annual Cronkite Award Luncheon at which the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism is presented to an exceptional journalist. Perhaps most important, members of the Endowment Board serve as advocates for and ambassadors to the Cronkite School, raising its public profile and drawing attention to its many extraordinary programs. o
