Approximately 600 photos, advertisements and other visuals from University Archives, the Savitar and private collections are included.
The commemorative book is made possible through the generosity of two major sponsors: Walsworth Publishing Company and VML, a worldwide interactive digital agency.
The cost of “The J-School” is $50 per copy; shipping/handling is an additional $10 within the continental U.S. International shipping figured separately.

For 100 years the School has been a pioneer in journalism education, offering the first bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in the field as well as developing groundbreaking curricula in the fields of print, broadcast and convergence media. Leading the way into the next century is RJI, a world-class center for research and demonstration of new technologies and processes for journalism. It was founded with an initial $31 million gift in 2004 from the Las Vegas-based Donald W. Reynolds Foundation.
