Author Talk with Ann Weimer Moxley
We were honored to welcome Ann Weimer Moxley to the Matheson to share from her brand-new book "Just Call Me Rae: The Story of Rae O. Weimer, Founder of the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications," about the legacy of her late father.
Rae O. Weimer founded the University of Florida’s first school of journalism in 1949, and within one year of his arrival in Gainesville, the school received accreditation. No longer would Florida’s students have to leave the state to pursue dreams of becoming journalists. "Just Call Me Rae" chronicles the life of the man who pioneered journalism education in Florida without a college degree and built one of the most innovative journalism and communications programs in the country.
