Dear Mr. Odd:
We are the department of Journalism and Communication and we are known for being informed and engaged in the world. Our students learn to navigate the Information Age as skilled professionals in fields of newspaper and magazine journalism, broadcasting and electronic media, and public relations/corporate communications. The Pacific Northwest Newspaper Association calls us “the best professionally oriented journalism program in Utah.”
To better prepare students for careers in journalism and mass communication, we are asking the Alumni Association to assist the department in raising $10,000 for new computers. This campaign will benefit the students by better preparing them to enter the work field at a higher skill level. This will allow students to attain higher paying jobs, which will benefit the Alumni Association by allowing the students to become future donators to the Alumni Association.
We feel that the department of Journalism and Communication share the same value as the Alumni Association in educational opportunities at Utah State University. We also value the promotion of interests and values of students at USU. In order to fully prepare our students for successful careers after graduation, it is important to provide them with highest quality education possible. To do this, it requires the dedication of faculty and staff, and access to the most advanced resources available.
The only computer lab in the JCOM department houses 20 computers that were installed in 1998. It is important for journalism students to have computers where they can access the most advanced technologies. The current computers hinder the student’s ability to fully develop their skills. Updating the computer lab will promote the interests and values of these students.
The Department of Journalism and Communication has always had the education and production of honest quality work by our students as our No. 1 priority. This campaign will compliment this goal and will be head up by Alyssa Lowry, Emma Conger and Justin Badger, three accomplished senior students in the JCOM department, under the direction of JCOM faculty member Preston Parker.
Currently we have 20 functioning computers in the Journalism and Communication computer lab located in the animal science building. We have estimated that to replace these computers it will cost roughly $10,000 to replace all 20 computers in the lab.
We would greatly appreciate the Alumni Association’s assistance in donating as much as possible to aid us in our goal of raising $10,000. Any money exceeding this goal that is raised will go towards technological upgrades in the Journalism and Communication Department. Such donations will augment the amount of good that we can do for our current and future students at Utah State University, and our ability to continue a reputation of quality and excellence of both our faculty and facilities. Please contact Emma Conger at 555-555-5555 with any questions you might have or to schedule a presentation.
Sincerely,
Mike Sweeney
