Memorial service set for Barbara Mack
August 27, 2012
A memorial service for professor Barbara Mack has been planned for Friday, Sept. 7.
The service will be held on the north side of the Campanile on Central Campus from 2 to 4 p.m. Refreshments will be provided.
A program will begin at 2:30 p.m., but as of this time, specifics on speakers for the event have not yet been set. Students, faculty, staff and the community are encouraged to come and share their memories of Mack, who passed away in the early morning of Thursday, Aug. 23.
Those wishing to share a memory of Mack may do so in a blue book. These can be picked up at 101 Hamilton Hall or at the memorial. It is asked that no one write their name on the front cover.
The memories from the blue books will be combined to create a “Blue Book of Memories.”
All donations made in honor of Mack will go toward an endowment to further professional education of undergraduate students at the Greenlee School of Journalism. Any donations can be made at www.foundation.iastate.edu/mack.
Anyone with questions should contact the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication at 515-294-4342.
