WSU Honors Former Southeastern Washington Radio Executive

 This month, the Murrow College Of Communications at Washington State University is honoring Geoff Harvey, a 1974 WSU grad, who with his daughter Courtney, a 2005 grad, has set up a scholarship for students aspiring to a career in the entertainment field.  It is known as the Geoffrey L. and Courtney L. Harvey Endowed Broadcast and Media Production Scholarship

Geoff worked at K-Hit radio in Walla Walla beginning in the mid 70s.  The station had new ownership and was working hard to establish a better relationship with the community.  The station was modernizing and would add what I remember as the city's first commercial FM station.   As I have mentioned in earlier posts, Geoff took the time to mentor me as I was working to establish a career in broadcasting.  Geoff would later move to his native Tri Cities where he became operations manager for three Kennewick stations.

Courtney has worked for the E! Netwok in production.  She has been living in Southern California.
