Every gift to CMCI makes a difference in the lives of our students and their experience on the CU Boulder campus. We are proud to recognize the following individuals who have generously supported CMCI each year since the college’s founding:
"I’m inspired every time I step onto the CU campus, where I’m reminded of a wonderful and magical time in my life. Where I had the chance to learn from outstanding professors who engaged me and my fellow classmates. Our dreams were encouraged and nurtured. We graduated with a strong understanding about the importance and significance of journalists in our world."
Kim Christiansen (Jour’84)
"It’s my pleasure to help CMCI. I’ve not been able to visit Boulder lately, but the then-J-School definitely paved the way for my career from broadcast to tech communications. I’ve read from afar and been pleased with how proactively CU has attacked the teaching of the ever-evolving media/digital landscape—way ahead of the curve."
Tom Stilwell (Jour’98)

"I was a communication major at CU, and my husband was, too. We met in a class called Communications and Social Change in 1972 held in a building on the Hill. After CU, my husband, John Thomas McCarty Jr. (’74), went to law school and I started a career in sales with IBM, selling typewriters. My husband practiced law and later started his own land use and permit business. Our background in communication was general enough to allow us to do a variety of jobs throughout our lives.
We loved our time at CU and would probably have never met if not for our shared communication major. Sadly, my husband passed away three years ago. My CU friends bought a Legacy Brick in his memory that is located in front of Folsom Field, and I purchased a Legacy Locker in his name located in the women’s ski locker room. I wanted him to be back at CU where it all started."
Julie Moriarty McCarty (Comm’74)
"We all talk about how much we enjoyed attending CU and the beautiful town of Boulder. We recall that time as being some of the best years of our lives. I look back so fondly on the entire experience that I believe it is my responsibility to honor those years by donating whatever I can to the school that has provided so much to my life.
So, the next time you tell someone how much you loved being a student at CU Boulder, remind yourself that you can give back to the university that provided you the opportunity you took and the joy you remember."
Brian Cameron (Comm’08)
"I support CMCI because of my experience as a graduate student in the former SJMC. I was applying for the program while deployed to Iraq. SJMC did everything possible to ease the application process and make sure that my application was fairly considered despite the difficulty in correspondence and getting some of the application materials. It was made clear that I would be welcome into the diverse student body and that my opinions and contributions would be valued. That never wavered in my two years in the program. I came to expand my experiences beyond the military and left with friends and acquaintances that I still have today. My CU degree benefited me every day as I continued my military career and continues to do so today."
