DKE Walter Hussman ’68 Takes on the Future of Journalism

By Mike Hoyt ’66

Roll back the clock 55 years. Then-pledge Walter Hussman stood in the front hall of the DKE House at the base of the staircase regaling us with his rendition of the “pig-sooey-Razorback” Arkansas cheer.

When Walter came through the front door of the DKE House in 1964, fresh from Little Rock, Arkansas, by way of the Lawrenceville School, little did any of us know that this unassuming, but visionary, young man from would make us so proud in the years to come.

By now, most of you know the story of  Walter E. Hussman, Jr., our distinguished DKE brother who, along with his family, recently gave a $25 million gift to the UNC School of Journalism. The school has now been renamed in his honor.

The Value of Face-to-Face Relationships and the Role of DKE & Friends

When was the last time you attended a DKE reunion or event? Today, it’s common for people to skip class reunions and get-togethers by justifying that they are already connected to old friends online. Still, surveys find that overwhelmingly people are experiencing rampant loneliness at higher levels than ever. How can we be so connected yet feel so alone in this age of instant communication?

Where Are Your Donations Going?

Most of our Brothers, don’t need a reason to give to DKE. We give because DKE taught us how to be men, how to be loyal, and most importantly how to support each other. That being said, it is still easier to give when you know where your generosity is being allocated.
