Deanne Gebell Gitner Storytelling Symposium

The Deanne Gebell Gitner Storytelling Symposium was established in honor of associate professor Seth Gitner’s late mother. The symposium supports student access to industry expertise and celebrates storytelling.

The symposium is supported by the endowed Deanne Gebell Gitner Storytelling Fund. The legacy gift will promote critical understanding of the interconnected practices of storytelling in public communications by providing resources for Newhouse students to learn from experts in the field. Invited guests come to campus to share their knowledge, thoughts and industry experience with students in the form of a lecture or seminar.
