Established in 2000 through the generosity of Gerry and Marguerite Lenfest and the Annenberg Foundation, the Lew Klein Alumni in the Media Awards honor the legacy of broadcasting pioneer and longtime Temple University instructor Lew Klein.
Each year, the event recognizes distinguished alumni whose work in the media brings pride to Temple University, along with one media figure whose career reflects the excellence and values personified by Lew Klein.
Proceeds from the annual event benefit the Lew Klein Scholarship Fund, which supports students pursuing off-campus study and internship opportunities.
