The Herberger Professorship was created in 1998 with a gift from Jeanne Lind Herberger, a three-time alumna of the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, including its doctoral program. 

The position was designed as a three-year rotating professorship, providing the recipient with a financial stipend and allowing the school the flexibility to meet diverse and changing needs.
