Thank you, students!

This is the Manager’s Minute.

The spring semester at the University of Oklahoma is over, so we have to say good-bye to students who’ve been part of our team.

Three Practicum class students – Spencer Plato, Julia Roberts, and Peyton Ferguson – learned practical skills in reporting, audio production, and announcing.

We’re also saying so long and good luck to student employees Michael Buchanan and Katie Hallum. Michael will spend the summer in Washington, D.C. reporting for Gaylord News. Katie just graduated from the Gaylord College. She has a new job in public media as an indigenous affairs reporter and you’ll hear reports from Katie on KGOU.

Mason Hunt joins us this summer as Inasmuch Foundation Community Fellowship intern and we’ll add more students later to work with returning student employee Coyt Wisdom.

With the Manager’s Minute, I’m Dick Pryor.

(Giving students real-world educational experience is one of the ways KGOU serves the University of Oklahoma community throughout the year.)

KGOU is a community-supported news organization and relies on contributions from readers and listeners to fulfill its mission of public service to Oklahoma and beyond. Donate online, or by contacting our Membership department.
