Great idea! Who knows, by going this route we just might raise enough
to get an endowed scholarship or more than one scholarship!! Think big
to honor a giant!!

I concur. In addition to a web tribute, perhaps AEJMC and MAC could
publish tributes in the convention program. For the MAC tribute, it
would be nice to have a two-page format. The tribute and a picture on
the front page, and a list of scholarship donors on the back page.
Donor recognition may inspire gifts and matching gifts amongst the
likes of AEJMC, AEJMC divisions, individuals, as well as JMC programs
and organizations. We could even get really creative and list
scholarship donors by categories such as dream partners ($0-$99), vision
partners ($100-$499), and legacy partners $500 - $1000 or more...perhaps
the PR people can be more creative. Moving forward, we could encourage
repeat contributions as well as new donors. This initiative would honor
the legacy of Dr. Lee and address the decreasing scholarship value
pointed up by Federico. What are your thoughts?

Dear Jennifer:
I join our colleagues in AEJMC in urging our Association to take a
public position on the life and death of Dr. Lee Barrow.
I am away at a site visit so I cannot do as much as I should, but here
is a beginning statement that I would like to see posted in conjunction
with other tributes to Dr. Barrow:
The faculty, students and staff members in the John H. Johnson School of
Communications share the grief of the family of the former dean of our
school, Dr. Lionel Barrow, on his death. Dean Barrow led the school for
10 years, bringing stability to the young school, introducing a strong
graduate and research focus and establishing an enduring linkage between
the school and the radio and television stations owned by the
University. In his work in national communication associations, he was a
pioneer in developing initiatives that focused on diversity concerns.
We will miss his candor and courage.
