Columbia College Chicago Radio students meet media personality Ryan Seacrest at the Radio Hall of Fame 2022 Induction Ceremony and get a special shout out from the stage before introducing Ellen K for her induction.
On Nov. 1, Columbia College Chicago Radio students met media personality and producer Ryan Seacrest at the Radio Hall of Fame 2022 Induction Ceremony at Chicago’s Radisson Blu. The students were there as guests of the Radio Advertising Bureau. When Seacrest, a 2019 inductee, came to the stage to introduce 2022 inductee Ellen K — a Los Angeles radio personality who students also met — he gave a shout out to the Columbia students.
Seacrest gave more love to Columbia students the next morning on LIVE with Kelly and Ryan (see the video; start at the 5:20 mark). And, he just happened to mention that one of the show’s producers, Scott Eason ’97, is a Columbia graduate.
