Don Pember Journalism Scholarship

The Don Pember Journalism Scholarship supports scholarships for journalism students, with preference for community college transfer students or journalism students with a strong interest in media law.

Don joined the University of Washington faculty in 1969 and served as a mentor to many undergraduate and graduate students. He received the UW's prestigious Distinguished Teaching Award in 1973 and was recognized two years later for excellence in teaching by the Carnegie Foundation. His path-breaking work on privacy led to Privacy and the Press (1979) and he has been a significant leader in mass communication through two popular textbooks. There were six editions of Mass Media and America and, as of the summer of 2007, Don is working on the 16th edition of his highly regarded Mass Media Law.

Don has always cared greatly about providing educational opportunity for students from modest economic backgrounds. With the Don Pember Journalism Scholarship, we can both honor Don's wonderful career and provide for deserving students.
