Letterman exhibit about one year away, dean says

On Nov. 30, President Paul W. Ferguson announced that David Letterman was donating his collection of "Late Show" honors and memorabilia to the university, including all of his Emmys and part of his set. 

It's still unclear exactly what Letterman will be donating to the university and when it will come together. 

Roger Lavery, dean of the College of Communications, Information and Media, said the location of the display will be determined by what Letterman decides to donate. 

Lavery asked students to be "excited, but patient," as the process could take around a year to complete. 

Lavery said Letterman wanted to make sure the display would be a dedication to modesty, much like the current plaque in Letterman Building that reads "dedicated to all C students before and after me." 

"He does not want a tribute to himself," Lavery said. "This collection, he wants it to inspire students, he wants it to maybe transform their lives in some way."
