Manship School Loyalty Campaign
03/15/2016
Fellow Manship graduate,
When my class graduated in 2011, we were excited about the future. Not just ours,
but the school鈥檚 as well.
We started the Senior Class Gift Fund, a first-of-its-kind campaign that raised approximately
$10,000. We wanted to make sure that generations of students would have the same amazing
opportunities we had such as covering the Iowa caucuses, attending industry-related
conventions and receiving financial support while interning around the country.
Now that we鈥檙e settled into our careers all across the country 鈥� I鈥檝e landed at CBS News in New York 鈥� it seems like the perfect time for us to make a more substantial commitment and begin a culture of giving. Dean Ceppos and I have evolved the Senior Class Gift Fund into a new endeavor that we are calling the Manship School Loyalty Campaign.
I can鈥檛 think of a better time to do this. In the last year alone, Manship has further bolstered its standing as a leader in media and public affairs education by launching its Washington program, building a state-of-the-art social media lab and establishing a statehouse program that immerses our students in the study and practice of covering state government. An accrediting team of outside experts described our school as being in 鈥渢he ranks of the country鈥檚 strongest programs.鈥�
We need you to be a part of the Loyalty Campaign.
Let鈥檚 invest today in the Manship students of tomorrow. There鈥檚 no better way for us to demonstrate our commitment to the Manship School than by supporting it financially. Join me in showing our #ManshipLoyalty, and let鈥檚 be in touch as this important campaign continues. Geaux Tigers!

to sign up for automatic, monthly or annual donations of $25, $50, $75 or more. It鈥檚 as easy as that, and this small investment will go a long way.
The Loyalty Campaign will add private donations to the Manship General Scholarship Fund that will be used to help students in all four concentrations: journalism, political communication, public relations and digital advertising. It will allow them to study abroad or in Washington, go to the Iowa caucuses or intern in New York.
