Alumni and Friends Provide Vision and Support for SOC's Future
The movement for the School of Communication’s new home was inspired by the Forman Challenge Fund, named for Trustee Emeritus Michael Forman, whose seed funding was matched dollar for dollar by SOC Dean’s Council members. The Forman Challenge underwrote architectural plans to re-imagine AU’s iconic McKinley Building. Now, through historic preservation and new construction, the McKinley Building is being transformed into a high-energy, high-tech, and high-touch hub for communication education, professional innovation, and scholarship.
We are grateful to the donors below who have made leadership campaign commitments by naming spaces
in the new School of Communication building as of March 1, 2013:
