We brought NPR journalists and hosts to you and local schools. Ira Flatow, the host of Science Friday, visited and talked with students at Roaring Fork High School. NPR’s Jackie Northam visited with the journalism class at Aspen High School.
“I think that giving local students in our valley access to these predominant NPR/PRI personalities, inspires students who are still deciding on a career path, or who might not be tuned into public radio to start paying attention,” development associate Laura Crow said. “The students were fully engaged and impressed with what both Ira Flatow and Jackie Northam had to say. It was a treat to see the students light up, ask questions and enjoy themselves!”
During our Summer Pledge Drive, we’re highlighting some of the services we are able to offer the community at Aspen Public Radio because of donations from people like you. To make a donation, click here.
