Donors like you are providing an exceptional education in journalism, media and strategic communications. Your contributions to the Cronkite Enrichment Fund help students gain a strong foundation of journalistic excellence, integrity and innovation, which were the hallmarks of Walter Cronkite. You are supporting Cronkite students as they cover important stories, providing them with up-to-date reporting tools and technologies, and ensuring they are taught by the best journalism faculty in the nation. Your gift also can provide critical financial assistance to Cronkite students who are unable to meet essential expenses in times of crisis.
Thanks to your support, this place is much more than a four-year university; it is a community that continues to grow and provide even better opportunities for students."
