S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications
The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications is a communications school at Syracuse University. It was named for newspaper publisher Samuel Irving Newhouse, Sr., who donated $15 million to the university for a journalism school.[citation needed] Designed by I.M. Pei, the school was dedicated on August 6, 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson.[citation needed] A second building, called Newhouse II, was built in 1974 and dedicated by CBS Television founder William S. Paley.[citation needed] A third building, Newhouse III, was dedicated on September 19, 2007 by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.[citation needed] The $31.6 million 74,000-square-foot (6,900 m2) modern structure features six-foot high letters from the First Amendment etched on its curving glass windows. The three buildings are allegedly known as the Newhouse Trilogy, although students do not refer to them as such.[citation needed]
The Newhouse School is considered one of the most prestigious schools of communications.[citation needed] It is known for its broadcast journalism, television, newspaper, and public relations programs. The school also has programs in media studies, television/radio/film, advertising, magazine journalism, photography, arts journalism, new media, media management, and public diplomacy. Graduates of Newhouse have gone on to positions with major networks and news agencies.
ALUMNI Newhouse alumni are over 20,000 strong. Fiercely loyal to their alma mater, they hold positions of leadership in all areas of the communications industry. The Newhouse Advisory Board includes 50 of the school’s most influential alumni. This group meets two times a year in New York and Los Angeles. This is a working board, not a titular group; almost every member is actively involved in one or more projects for the group, visits campus to teach and forges other industry alliances for faculty and students.
