Alabama State University President William H. Harris announced during a news conference Tuesday, June 4 that veteran newscaster Bob Howell is the interim director for the University's new Center for Communications and Applied Media.
Howell, the former managing editor and news anchorman for WSFA TV-12 News in Montgomery, will lead the center, have roles in developing and creating its curriculum, teaching, and myriad other roles, Harris said.
“It became clear to us (ASU) that the one person who could make our interest a reality, and improve what we have done in communications was Bob Howell himself,†Harris said. "Accordingly, we are here today to announce the beginning of Alabama State University’s Center for Communications and Applied Media, and we are delighted to have Mr. Howell join Alabama State University.â€
Howell retired from WSFA on May 23, ending 32 years with the NBC television station.
The ASU Center will be a state-of-the-art facility housing ASU's radio and television stations, recording technology resources and student print media. These entities include the University’s award-winning radio station WVAS 90.7 FM HD1, HD2 and HD3; its education television station (ASU-TV); and its student newspaper,The Hornet Tribune. Experienced broadcast and print professionals will work with ASU’s training faculty to provide communications students with multi-faceted, real-life experiences that may be immediately translated into professional employment opportunities.
