John F. and Kathleen M. Kehoe
The John F. and Kathleen M. Kehoe Film and Video Studies Endowment for the Libraries was created in 2016, to provide support for the Libraries to acquire resources for the study of film and video history, theory, and production. Resources acquired with the endowment funds may include but are not limited to, production resources (such as music and sound effects libraries) and script databanks. Such resources will help students to develop and apply the depth and range of knowledge and skills essential to film and video production.
John (Jack) Kehoe serves on the Film at Mason Advisory Board. Kehoe has had a long and deep interest in film, including getting his MFA in Film from Ohio University in between Army assignments during a 30-year military career. His military career alternated between leading soldiers in field units (e.g., as a battalion commander) and managing Defense organizations providing internal communications (web, broadcast, print) across the military.
Kathleen Kehoe served as Director of Development for the University Libraries until 2023. She received her Master's degree in Education Leadership from Mason in 1997.
