Buy a Brick!
(And other local ideas on how you can support the C&J Department)

Remembrance Brick for the Alumni Pathway

An excellent way to demonstrate your support of the C&J Department with your family's name or to commemorate the memory of a loved one is to buy a brick for the "Alumni and Friends Pathway" that will be installed at the historic C&J building. A 4x8 brick with three lines of type costs $60, and 8x8 bricks also are available for $120. Images for either brick size are optional for an additional $20. Let us know the size of the brick and what you want printed on it. Proceeds will go to meet the needs of C&J students in the building. Simply fill in and print the on-line order form, and then mail your check and order to the Department of Communication & Journalism, University of New Mexico, MSC03 2240, 1 University Dr., Albuquerque, NM 87131-0001.

Departmental Enrichment Fund

This fund provides monies to be used at the Chair's discretion to support special needs that arise in the department that were not anticipated by the regular budget. These special needs could include financial aid to students, computer software for classes, guest speakers for student seminars and other events, emergency needs, and other unexpected expenses. You can help our education mission by donating to the Departmental Enrichment Fund, mailing your contribution to the Department of Communication & Journalism, University of New Mexico, MSC03 2240, 1 University Dr., Albuquerque, NM 87131-0001.

Everett M. Rogers Memorial Scholarship

In memory of long-time communication professor Everett M. Rogers, who died of cancer in late 2004, the department has established this scholarship. It supports graduate student research and travel needs that would otherwise not be able to be funded. Dr. Rogers already was a famous scholar in communication when he came to UNM in 1995 to be department Chair and to start C&J's Ph.D. program. He was the author of more than 30 books, including his landmark Diffusion of Innovations, which was first published in 1962 and entered its fifth edition in 2003. A Regents Professor since 1999, he was named in 2002 as UNM's 47th Research Lecturer — the highest honor the university can bestow. The department maintains a Web page as a tribute to Dr. Rogers. You can help C&J graduate students by sending a contribution in honor of Dr. Rogers to the Department of Communication & Journalism, University of New Mexico, MSC03 2240, 1 University Dr., Albuquerque, NM 87131-0001.

Graduate Student Development Fund

This fund supports graduate student recruiting from the United States and around the world, and it also provides recognition for outstanding achievement by C&J's diverse students in five different fields of graduate study. You can be part of the effort of enriching the graduate student experience at C&J by mailing your contribution to the Department of Communication & Journalism, University of New Mexico, MSC03 2240, 1 University Dr., Albuquerque, NM 87131-0001.
