The Washington Hand Press is a symbol of the historic roots of the Missouri School of Journalism.
|
First. Best. Always.
|
Some of journalism's most respected names have passed through the doors of Jay H. Neff Hall, the School's first building built in 1919 with a gift from Ward A. Neff, BJ '13, presented in honor of his father.

The Missouri School of Journalism has been the leader for nearly a century. Our excellence over the years has been shaped in great part by philanthropy. All of our buildings, beginning with Neff Hall in 1919, were constructed largely with private funds. Many of our globally renowned faculty were attracted to Missouri because of privately endowed chairs. Generous alumni have created hundreds of scholarships that help us recruit the brightest students from around the world. Although we're part of the proud tradition of low-cost publicly supported higher education, we can compete with the best private universities thanks to the generosity of generations of donors.
Alumni and friends may choose to support the School in many ways. Unrestricted annual support gives us the flexibility to meet the greatest needs of the School year after year. Scholarships guarantee a Missouri Journalism education for outstanding students. Gifts to faculty and academics strengthen the Missouri Method of learning by doing.
As we approach our centennial in 2008, the Missouri School of Journalism seeks to increase the level of the School's endowment to $100 million by our 100th year. Endowments - which support the same needs as annual gifts - are permanent funds that pay annual dividends, thereby helping to secure our future into our second century and beyond. For more information, please view the 100 by 100 Centennial Campaign Web page.
