The WJPZ Alumni Association of the Syracuse University student-operated CHR radio station, will hold its 34th Annual Birthday Banquet on Saturday March 2 at the Syracuse University Sheraton on campus. WJPZ has been fertile ground for recruits to the radio industry over the years.
The event’s speaking program will feature a conversation with Beasley Media Group CEO Caroline Beasley (pictured), moderated by Jeff Kurkjian (’15), morning host at Beasley-owned KCYE-FM in Las Vegas. Stephen Donovan (’95), morning host at WWLI-FM in Providence, will emcee the event. In addition, Joe Pasternak (’82) and Dena Giacobbe (’99) will be inducted into the WJPZ Hall of Fame.
“Even as the radio business changes, WJPZ continues to be known throughout the industry as The Greatest Media Classroom. Once again, this weekend brings together students, alumni, and leaders in the industry to prove why the station is one-of-a-kind in the nation,” said Kevin Rich (‘07), President of the WJPZ Alumni Association and Market President, Townsquare Media Albany.
