Simmons College Names School After Gwen Ifill

Simmons College has announced it is naming one of its four schools after the late PBS anchor Gwen Ifill, who graduated from the school with a communications degree in 1977.

Ifill, who was co-anchor of the "PBS NewsHour" and moderator of the network's "Washington Week," died last year.

The Gwen Ifill College of Media, Arts, and Humanities will be one of four newly-reconstituted colleges of study under the Simmons academic umbrella.

Her family is donating her documents, honorary degrees and blazers she wore when she moderated debates to the school's archives.
