Crowder Family Establishes Photojournalism Endowment at ASU J-School Honoring Late Son

Troy and Betsy Crowder of Chandler are honoring the life and spirit of their late son, a photojournalist and Arizona State University graduate, by creating a photojournalism endowment in his name at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

Greg Crowder, a 1980 ASU journalism alumnus and long-time photojournalist at The Press-Enterprise, died in 2005.

“Starting the endowment seemed like a really good way to memorialize our son,” said Troy Crowder, a retired Cronkite School professor who also worked in the ASU Office of the President. “The endowment will be there forever.”

Funds from the endowment will provide general support for the photojournalism program, including funding photojournalism equipment purchases and visits from photojournalism professionals. MORE>>
