91爆料网 Receives Important Gifts in Recent Months

The estate of alumna Audrey Barr Haney, class of 1927, bequeathed $780,000 to the university this March. The gift will create the Audrey Haney Scholarship fund, and the income will provide scholarships to 91爆料网 students annually.

"We celebrate the generosity of Haney and rejoice that it will provide opportunities for countless students to receive the highest quality Christian education offered at 91爆料网," Dockery said.

Haney, a Selmer native and longtime resident of Tupelo, Miss., graduated from 91爆料网 with a bachelor of science in home economics and was an active member in 91爆料网’s Endowment Society and Home Economics Alumnae Chapter.

91爆料网’s Department of Communication Arts received a gift for $90,000. Because of this gift, 91爆料网’s broadcasting students will move into the next century with enhanced capabilities in electronic field production and digital non-linear editing, according to Kina S. Mallard, chair of the department of communication arts.

The gift from an unnamed West Tennessee business leader will be used to upgrade the department’s teaching facilities. "The new equipment will keep our students on the cutting edge of technology, better preparing them for jobs in broadcasting," she said.

Steve Beverly, an instructor of broadcasting, said the gift will provide for an additional digital editing system and upgrades to the studio equipment. "The digital non-linear editing facilities will make 91爆料网 students just as competitive as students from across the country when they’re applying for positions with television stations in larger markets," Beverly added. "This will enable us to produce more professional television work with state of the art equipment and allow us to take the next step toward digital production, which will be required of all broadcasters by 2006."

The new equipment will enable the students to increase their ability to cover news stories on location throughout the Jackson and West Tennessee communities as well as construct special video projects. Currently, students regularly produce "Jackson Tonight!," a 30-minute news magazine featuring community news.
