PBS Reno President and General Manager Kurt Mische will be the featured speaker at the upcoming Rotary Club of Carson City meeting on Tuesday, April 21, at 12 p.m. The meeting will be held in the Grand Ballroom at the Brewery Arts Center and is open to the public.
Mische will discuss PBS Reno’s impact across Northern Nevada, highlighting the organization’s 43 years of service to the region and its continued growth. “PBS Reno has served this region for more than four decades,” Mische said. “We are debt-free and focused on expanding our services across all media platforms.”
His presentation will include an overview of local programming such as Wild Nevada and artEffects, as well as the station’s documentaries and podcasts. Mische will also emphasize PBS Reno’s broader role in education through its community-based initiatives.
“We provide so much more to our community than just our on-air programming,” Mische said. “Our Curiosity Classroom workshops offer literacy and STEM-based learning experiences for pre-K through fourth-grade students, combining PBS KIDS videos, books, and hands-on activities.”
The Curiosity Classroom program has delivered more than 6,800 workshops to approximately 128,000 students across public, private, charter, parochial, and homeschool settings in nine Northern Nevada counties. Mische will also highlight the annual Young Writers Contest, which encourages children to create and illustrate their own stories.
“All of these efforts, along with our PBS KIDS programming, are designed to inspire a love of learning,” he added.
