The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications is a communications school at Syracuse University. It was named for newspaper publisher Samuel I. Newhouse, who donated $15 million to the university for a journalism school. Designed by I.M. Pei, the school was dedicated on August 6, 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. A second building, called Newhouse II, was built in 1974. Ground was broken for a third building on November 12, 2005. That building is scheduled to be completed in Fall 2007.
Considered the most prestigious school of communications; the Newhouse School is best known for its broadcast journalism, newspaper, and public relations programs. The school also has programs in media studies, television/radio/film, advertising, print journalism, photography, speech communication, and media management. Graduates of Newhouse have gone on to positions with NBC, ESPN, The New York Times, Reuters and The Associated Press, among others.
