Arkansas State University

This year's Delta Symposium at Arkansas State University is going to the movies!  In conjunction with this year's Delta Flix Film and Media Festival, the 21st annual event will be held April 8-11 at Arkansas State University's Carl R. Reng Student Union.  As always, the Saturday of the Symposium will conclude with a concert at CWL Park in Jonesboro.  KASU's Johnathan Reaves talked with co-coordinator of this year's Delta Symposium, Dr. Gregory Hansen.  Click here for a complete list of events at this year's Delta Symposium.

Johnathan Reaves is the News Director for KASU Public Radio. As part of an Air Force Family, he moved to Arkansas from Minot, North Dakota in 1986. He was first bitten by the radio bug after he graduated from Gosnell High School in 1992. While working on his undergraduate degree, he worked at KOSE, a small 1,000 watt AM commercial station in Osceola, Arkansas. Upon graduation from Arkansas State University in 1996 with a degree in Radio-Television Broadcast News, he decided that he wanted to stay in radio news. He moved to Stuttgart, Arkansas and worked for East Arkansas Broadcasters as news director and was there for 16 years.
