Past recipients of the Murrow Award include Sam Donaldson, Frank Blethen and Walter Cronkite. Jackson and his wife, Turi Ann Johnsen Jackson, sponsor a WSU fellowship for communication graduate students in media management or production for the promotion of ethics in the broadcast industry. This donation, at Jackson's request, was combined with the previous Jackson fellowship and will benefit students who demonstrate high achievement. In conjunction with the symposium, the Edward R. Murrow School of Communication Advisory Board will hold meetings April 5-6 and a career fair will be held for WSU students. Communication professionals will attend a breakfast with student organization leaders, speak to various classes across campus, and participate in the fair on April 6 from 9 a.m.
All students are welcome to attend the career fair.
