Seven graduates of the Walker Broadcast Management Institute got their briefcases on April 15 as the Institute marked the middle of another three-year cycle.
The Institute is designed for broadcast managers and those seeking or being prepared for broadcast management positions. It’s held at the UW School of Business on the UW-Madison campus.
This year the students heard from Betsy Hagan about developing the people around you, Patricia Clason about leading with emotional intelligence, and Brian Lee on strategic marketing. Matt Kures from UW-Extension spoke at the graduation dinner at the Fluno Center about Wisconsin’s economic future.
This year’s graduates are:
Mikayla Browne – WNWC-FM
B.J. DeGroot – Woodward Community Media
Nicole Ehlers – Woodward Community Media
Adam Hargrove – Educational Communications Board
Cristina Kay – WNWC-FM
Ken Lundberg – Mid-West Family
Katie Stevenson – Seehafer Broadcasting
The graduates get briefcases to mark their accomplishment.
The next Institute courses will be held spring 2027 on the UW-Madison campus. Dates are not yet determined.
The Institute is funded by an endowment from the estate of William R. Walker. It represents the largest single contribution ever received by the WBA Foundation.
