On October 2, Hearst Corporation Chairman Frank A. Bennack presented a $100,000 check to BU for the James F. O'Donnell Scholarship, in memory of Hearst's former vice president for corporate public relations.

Although O'Donnell was a Boston College alumnus, his family chose BU's College of Communication because it wanted to donate the scholarship to a leading communications school. Pictured are (from left) O'Donnell's mother, Fran O'Donnell, COM Dean Brent Baker, President Jon Westling, and Bennack. Below, graduate student Karen Carney expresses her thanks as the first recipient of the scholarship. Photos by Kalman Zabarsky
