Edna Anderson-Taylor BFA’59 was the first woman to broadcast on KUED, and later went on to play Miss Julie on “Romper Room” on KSL Television for over 17 years from 1963 until 1980. After leaving television, she went on to work at KSL Radio as an account executive and was instrumental in the founding of American Women in Radio and Television in Utah. In retirement, she became president of the Assistance League and, together with her husband, Jerry, started to fund scholarships for the U’s Communications Department, with a focus on providing scholarships for underrepresented and nontraditional candidates. This year, the couple funded the Edna Anderson-Taylor Institute, one of just two in the country that works to amplify the voices of women in journalism and serve as a one-of-a-kind resource to understand the most pressing issues of public concern today.
