The change was made official this morning by a vote of the USF Board of Trustees. The newly renamed Zimmerman School of Advertising and Mass Communications recognizes the USF alumnus for his gift of $10 million to the school, the largest gift to the College of Arts and Sciences in its history. The gift will put the school on the map globally to attract advertising and mass communications students. “The University of South Florida is so proud that one of our own Trustees, Jordan Zimmerman, has made this commitment to the College of Arts and Sciences and the Zimmerman School of Advertising and Mass Communications,†said USF System President Judy Genshaft. “The combination of his passion for his profession and his continuous support for the school creates greater learning and working opportunities for our students.†Please follow this link to learn more: http://www.unstoppable.usf.edu/fnd_web/press-releases-details.aspx?ID=2300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been involved with USF for a while. We need more USF alumni taking over from some of the other current big donors that will eventually "age out."
