Abstract
Amid reductions in federal and state support, this report describes a communication department strategy for expanding graduate assistantship funding through campus and community partnerships. The department solicited nonprofit organizations, selected businesses, and university units with communication related needs, offering graduate students’ assistance with public relations, speeches, news releases, photography, brochures, newsletters, and related tasks. The report explains how tuition and fee waivers, university foundation donations, and tax deductible contributions could support assistantships while benefiting participating agencies and campus offices. It presents the Community Program as a way to diversify support beyond normal graduate school funding and notes early pledges, future assistantship goals, and possible equipment or in kind donation drives.
