Adler School of Journalism – University of Iowa

7/27/2010

In January 2005, the University of Iowa School of Journalism and Mass Communication moved into its new home in the Adler Building just north of the Main Library.  The building was named in memory of Philip D. Adler (B.A. 1926) after his family gave the J-MC School a major gift. Adler was publisher of the Quad-City Times (of Davenport) and a longtime supporter of the UI until his death in 1994.  The Adler Building is also home to The Daily Iowan, the UI’s award-winning student-run newspaper, and the Department of Cinema and Comparative Literature.  There is a very cool light sculpture by Jim Sanborn that projects words onto the building.  http://elonka.com/kryptos/sanborn.html“
