SC State Radio Rebounding from Pandemic

The small staff at the radio stations of SC State operating out of Nance Hall became even smaller since the COVID-19 breakout more than two years ago. Carl A'see lost pretty much all of his volunteer and part-time on-air people (one of whom died). A student-run online station also went dormat. 

But things are looking up. A'see has recently added two ESPN stations to his rebranded Statement Media organization. 

Meeting with students in Patrick Harwood's Radio Production on March 29 A'see said he is giving interviews for new announcers for his WSSB 90.3 FM jazz station. And he wants students to know his door is open for those who are highly motivated, willing to work hard and learn about the radio business. 

 A'see (wearing a red mask) has been with SC State radio since 2008. And he is an SC State alumnus. 

"The Possibilities are Endless" Public Information Manager Tells Students

"Community service." Women's History Month Speaker Janet Parker told South Carolina State University communication students that if they only remember one thing from her March 15 virtual talk that it be those two words.

Parker is the public information manager for the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office in Charlotte. Here is her Linkedin site.  

Prior to this position, she was a broadcast journalist for many years at stations in Columbia and Charlotte where she was a producer, reporter, anchor and executive producer. During her virtual talk, Parker said at the University of South Carolina she started as a psychology major but didn't really like her first classes in that field of study.
