Scripps College of Communication
Ohio
University
It
was a time for high-fives all around when the Foundation
announced the exciting next phase of its long-term partnership
with Ohio
University:
A total $20 million commitment to name the Scripps College of
Communication, which houses the
E.W.
Scripps
School
of
Journalism and five other colleges. A celebration on campus in
September 2006 involved a full university and Scripps Company
contingent. Scripps professionals conducted a series of
workshops for students; Company President and CEO Ken Lowe
delivered a public lecture on the future of the media;
President Dr. Roderick McDavis hosted guests in his home; and
capping off the day of celebration was a Great American
Country-sponsored concert. The Foundation’s new commitment
will provide endowment funds related to programming. The
university expects to build a new facility housing all five
colleges.
