With the help of a team of undergraduate interns, department faculty and students gather every spring to celebrate the memory of Professor Emeritus Laura Crowell. The Laura Crowell Fund Run was created more than 20 years ago to honor Professor Crowell. The proceeds are used exclusively to support and sustain research conducted by Department of Communication graduate students. This year the interns raised more than $10,000 through sponsorships, gifts and donations.
Well done Crowell Team 2009!
