Learn more about your impact
Every summer, the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication brings high school students from underserved backgrounds to ASU for hands-on experiences in broadcast and digital media. A gift to the Cronkite Summer Journalism Institute supports the costs of participants' room and board and meals, camp counselors, transportation for field trips, program faculty, equipment and lab usage, and supplies and materials.
My favorite part was meeting the amazing professionals, getting the hands-on experience in doing multiple positions, and learning more deeply about journalism."
Impact of Donor Support
- More than 750 high schoolers from around Arizona and the U.S. have come to the Cronkite School to participate in summer camps.
- More than sixty percent of high schoolers who have participated in summer camps at the Cronkite School have gone on to enroll in an undergraduate program at ASU.
- High schoolers who participate in Cronkite camps learn from faculty and industry experts and gain hands-on experience in broadcast news, media innovation, sports reporting and digital media.
I believe ASU is a major life force in our community and I want to do my part to help it thrive."
