Director of the Kellar Radio Talent Institute Dan Vallie (pictured) says, ?We are developing the next generation of broadcasters. The students come with enthusiasm and passion for the business, and it?s very impressive how industry professionals sacrifice their time to come to the campus to teach sessions and give back to the industry.?
Every session is on the Appalachian State University campus, except for one day in Charlotte where sports broadcasting sessions are led by Mick Mixon, Play-by-Play Announcer of the NFL Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium; Doug Rice of Performance Racing Network at the Charlotte Motor speedway; and Scott Lauer of the NBA Charlotte Bobcats at Time Warner Arena.
