At Kansas Public Radio and Audio-Reader, we welcome students from various educational tracks at KU to intern for us, and gain hands-on experience working in fields related to radio, journalism, non-profits, communications and more!
This semester we have five wonderful KU students interning at KPR and Audio-Reader: Gracie Hughes, Caroline Blanke, Tyler Burkett, Kacie Fuller, and Anna Campbell. They have all been an asset to our organizations, and have used their individual education, experience, and personalities to bring something new to our team.
Watch the above video, and read more to learn about each of our students.
