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.
