Broadcasters who go above and beyond in their role as mentors to the next generation of journalists are recognized with the Jessica Savitch Award of Distinction for Excellence in Journalism. Park alumna and journalist Jessica Savitch was the inspiration for this fund.


Savitch delivered the keynote speech at her college's commencement ceremony in 1979. She also joined the board of governors at the university. In the following year, she received an honorary degree from Ithaca College.


In his native Philadelphia, Savitch attained celebrity status. The rumors of her drug use and mental instability, however, damaged her reputation. There was a lot of jealousy among her coworkers as she rose to fame.


Savitch's on-air performance was marked by inconsistency and a lack of polish. She fumbled over her words and struggled to keep up with the copy.


Savitch decided to work with a voice coach to hone her delivery. She also made use of techniques like improvised reporting and narrated graphic film.
