National Public Radio newscaster Korva Coleman to speak at SUNY Potsdam

POTSDAM -- SUNY Potsdam will welcome National Public Radio newscaster Korva Coleman for an upcoming campus visit.

The award-winning public broadcasting journalist will speak to journalism students and offer a free public talk at SUNY Potsdam on Oct. 10.

Coleman is set to speak to a media law class at SUNY Potsdam on Thursday, Oct. 10, and will offer a free public address at 7 p.m., in the Sara M. Snell Music Theater at The Crane School of Music.

Her visit coincides with the college's Days of Reflection, an initiative intended to spark conversation necessary for moving our campus, community, region, state, nation and world toward greater racial equity and justice.

Coleman's visit is hosted in partnership with North Country Public Radio.

In lieu of receiving an honorarium for her visit to the campus, Coleman has asked SUNY Potsdam to use those funds to set up a paid internship for a student of color at NCPR.

Dr. Susan S. Novak, an associate professor of journalism and public relations, is organizing the campus visit and will advise the intern.

NCPR is set to present "An Evening with Korva Coleman" hosted by Todd Moe on Friday, Oct. 11 at 6 p.m., in the Eben Holden Center at St. Lawrence University, Canton.

That event will include cocktails and dinner; tickets are $50.

For more information, contact NCPR's Jessica Lawrence at jessica@ncpr.org.

Coleman's visit is sponsored by SUNY Potsdam's Department of English and Communication, the Joy (MacDonald) and Richard Dorf Applied Learning Endowment and Phi Kappa Phi.
