“We appreciate that the communication skills learned at the School of Journalism (now College of Media) are transferable to unlimited careers and situations. Those skills always have served us well and helped us achieve personal satisfaction throughout our careers.

By doing so, we are taking the career satisfaction we have gained and are paying it forward to future students who will recognize, as we have, the value of all they learn at the College of Media.” – James Gilkerson (BSJ, 1967) – Barbara Gilkerson (BSJ, 1968) The James and Barbara Gilkerson Journalism Scholarship How to Make a Gift 42
