Join the College of Arts & Sciences for the fall keynote event in this year’s annual Harriet Elliott Lecture Series, hosted by the Department of Communication Studies:
Guest Speaker: Jacoby Cochran – City Cast Chicago (https://chicago.citycast.fm/about-us)
DJs/Hosts: Prez Parks, James Lone, Patrick Kilmartin – In the Beat of the Night
Part keynote lecture, part hip hop show: Jacoby Cochran and In the Beat of the Night help us tell better stories by sharing their own.
Jacoby Cochran is the Senior Podcast Host for the award-winning City Cast Chicago. He has used his MA in Communication from Syracuse University to translate his passion for connecting people into a lucrative career designing podcasts and newsletters to promote Chicago events, businesses, and creative partnerships. A celebrated storyteller and national champion public speaker, Jacoby received the 2024 Uplifting Voices Award at the 29th Annual Chicago Community Media Awards.
With music and conversation support from In the Beat of the Night, join us for a unique night of storytelling.
Prez, J Lone, and Kilmatic make up the backbone of In the Beat of the Night. Starting in 2006 as a hip-hop show on UNCG’s own WUAG, ITBOTN has grown from Greensboro’s longest-running radio show into a live platform to support local musicians and share their stories. Using their skills as both DJs and master interviewers, the ITBOTN crew commits to showcasing local talent – and keeping us entertained along the way.
Free and open to the public. Free parking in the Walker Deck.
