Jane Tunstall Lingo Memorial Special Collections Fund

One of the first women invited to join the National Press Club in 1971, native Washingtonian Jane Tunstall Lingo was a trailblazer for women journalists and a dedicated alumna and long-term employee of The George Washington University. During her years at GW, Ms. Lingo earned membership in Phi Beta Kappa and joined Mortar Board, Pi Beta Phi sorority, the GW Hospital Women's Board, the Faculty Women's Club, and Columbian Women, which is the University's oldest scholarship support group. She also was an active and valued member of Gelman Library’s Advancement Advisory Board.

The Jane Tunstall Lingo Memorial Special Collections Fund was created to commemorate Ms. Lingo’s lifelong service and dedication to Washington, D.C., The George Washington University, and Gelman Library. This fund will support the efforts of the Department of Special Collections to document the history of the Washington, D.C. area in general, the Foggy Bottom community in particular, and the university itself by funding the purchase of materials in line with the programmatic mission of Special Collections.
