“This will be the first of many events that celebrate the 50th anniversary of KUAT and PBS in Southern Arizona in 2009,” said Jack Gibson, Director and General Manager of Arizona Public Media. “It’s a perfect symbol of what PBS represents: news, information, and entertainment that makes history and brings our community together.”
Natalie Bohnet, Executive Director of UApresents added, “UApresents is thrilled to partner with Arizona Public Media on this exciting event. Centennial Hall was built for the students, faculty and staff. We look forward to providing more opportunities to share this historic building with the University community.”
