R. Michael Donovan

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of R. Michael Donovan, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Radio, Television & Film on July 6, 2023.

Mike retired from Rowan in 2018 after 46 years of service. Among his valued contributions, he created the RTF program and was instrumental in establishing the Charles & Lucille King Family Foundation in 2002. The $1 million gift established an endowed chair with Mike as its first recipient. Mike also served for many years as the advisor for Rowan Radio 89.7 WGLS-FM and was instrumental in its strong reputation and recognition as an award-winning college radio station. 

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
