Join the Cronkite Legacy
The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication embodies the values of its namesake. With the school’s historic move to the center of the Phoenix media market in fall 2008, there are now more opportunities to help the Cronkite School become the country’s premier professional journalism program.
The six-story, 223,000-square-foot structure is the centerpiece of ASU’s new downtown campus in the heart of Phoenix, the nation’s fifth largest city. Highlights include:
- Prime Location. Closer to major media organizations than any journalism school in the nation.
- Professional Environment. Seven dynamic newsrooms devoted to all-day learning and real-life production and innovation in print, TV, radio, public relations and new media.
- Public Forum. A two-story public forum, the building’s activity hub and site of events for students and nationally televised forums.
- Spacious Classrooms. Seven digital computer labs, two TV studios, a 150-seat theater and five fully wired classrooms.
- Student Services. A glass-enclosed student library, lounge and resource center, the center of the student services wing of the building.
- PBS Partnership. Eight/KAET-TV, the ASU-operated public broadcasting station, joins the Cronkite School in the new complex.
Donors and supporters create a meaningful legacy and a continuing relationship with the Cronkite School through named giving opportunities. Your gift provides the resources that allow the Cronkite School to recruit gifted faculty, expand its commitment to access by providing scholarships and financial aid to talented and deserving students, and deliver the extraordinary professional education for which the school is known.
Nationally known for its immersive and innovative approach, the Cronkite School boasts about 1,300 students and a faculty of award-winning journalists and media scholars. The school consistently ranks in the top 10 in the annual Hearst intercollegiate journalism competition, often called the Pulitzers of college journalism (in 2007 we were first in the nation following two consecutive years at No. 2). And our students have finished first in the Society of Professional Journalists’ Mark of Excellence competition for a record five consecutive years.
