The year of 2017 has been one full of championships, both through UNC and the UNC School of Media and Journalism: Our athletic national championships, our third consecutive take of the national Hearst Journalism Awards and our first-ever win in the national PRSSA Bateman Competition.

Now is your chance to be a champion: a champion for the future of the MJ-school.

Let us take this spirit of competition inward and unite to see which decade of alumni can give the highest percent of donations for the month of June.

We know it is not feasible for everyone to give large sums, but that is why we challenge you to donate $10, $50, $300 or whatever you can to the MJ-school. Regardless of the amount, you will be a UNC MJ Champion by supporting the next generation of media and journalism professionals.

Join the giving challenge and be a champion for the future, happening throughout the month of June!

Make your gift to the MJ-school today.

Recurring, unrestricted gifts to the annual fund offer our leadership the flexibility to apply resources where the school’s needs are greatest. Unrestricted support from our alumni and friends makes it possible for Dean King to say “YES!” to even more initiatives that help secure the MJ-school’s standing as one of the top programs in the nation and strengthen its ability to prepare the best media professionals in the business.

Your annual fund gift may be translated into hands-on learning experiences for students, support faculty research, purchase cutting edge equipment and technology, engage visiting scholars and practitioners to work with one-on-one with students - the list of opportunities your unrestricted gift makes possible goes on and on.
