The Columbia College Chicago Television Department and Chicago/Midwest Chapter of the TV Academy cordially invite you to the Sharon Palermo Scholarship Reception.

The numerous contributions to the education and lives of thousands of Columbia College students came in part by the balance, perspective and support provided by Luke and Sharon Palermo. They were a dynamic team. The Sharon Palermo Scholarship was established to remember Sharon and acknowledge Luke for their strong commitment to students studying in the field of television. We hope that you will join us for this memorable evening.

Luke Palermo has done so much for Columbia College Chicago and the Television Academy because he loves his students. Luke wants them to be professionally prepared to work in our industry. That's why—and how—he's taught all aspects of television production and encouraged the creative spark in each of his classes. It's also the reason he's established a partner scholarship through this Academy and Columbia College to honor his late wife Sharon, who also shared a special dedication to both education and young people. He does it for the students. NATAS Chicago/Midwest is honored to join with Luke and with Columbia in this noble cause.
