Faculty, Staff and Students Credited for Administrator of the Year Award by Medill Dean

John LavineThe Scripps Howard Foundation announced today that it has named Medill Dean John Lavine the Journalism and Mass Communication Administrator of the Year.

"I'm honored to receive the Scripps Howard Award, but in truth it belongs to Medill faculty, staff and students," said Lavine. "When I became dean seven years ago, the media industries were rocked by unprecedented change. The Medill community faced and embraced those challenges, while at the same time strengthening the enduring values of our professions. Our graduates are not only equipped to be outstanding in their first jobs but have the frameworks to find the most important opportunities in the continuous change that will be the hallmark of their careers."

Lavine founded the Media Management Center in 1989. »more
