ESPN’s Dana Jacobson visits Monday to talk to assistant professor Mike Conway’s class and to address "What It Takes to Get to ESPN and Stay There” to a general audience at 7:45 p.m. in Woodburn Hall 120.
Since joining ESPN in 2002, Jacobson has been an anchor of the cable network’s popular SportsCenter program, co-host of its Cold Pizza morning show (now ESPN First Take) as well as a sideline reporter on NBA broadcasts.
A graduate of the University of Michigan, she got her start in journalism as a news anchor, producer and editor at WPBN/WTOM in Traverse City, and also worked as a reporter and sports anchor at KXTV and KHTK-Radio in Sacramento, Calif.
She’ll be joined in the classroom visits by her former colleague, Indianapolis station WRTV-TV anchor/reporter Ray Cortopassi. Jacobson and Cortopassi both started their television careers as reporter/photo journalists in Traverse City, Mich.
