The Kellar Radio Talent Institute at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, is about to begin its fourth year. Created in 2007 by industry vet and Vallie-Richards-Donovan founder Dan Vallie. The Institute's mission is to attract, train and coach talented students who have a passion for the broadcast industry as well as possible ownership.

The Institute has received partial sponsorship from the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters (NCAB) for the 2010 program, held July 12-21. The NCAB is recognized as one of the top associations for broadcasters in the nation in terms of legislative victories, education, services, benefits and legal assistance.

This year also marks the first year that the Institute is accepting students from other colleges and universities. In prior years only Appalachian State students were admitted. In addition, the Institute will have its largest number of guest professional faculty, totaling 32.

"Now as we are about to hold our fourth Radio Institute, it's as apparent as it was the first year that there are many talented, intelligent and well-rounded young adults that aspire to be in radio," said Vallie. "They come with enthusiasm, questions, ideas and a developing passion for the business. I'm thrilled the NCAB is sponsoring the Institute this year."

Seventeen students have been accepted into this year's Institute held on the campus of Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. Previous graduates of the Institute are now working for CBS/Charlotte, Entercom/Greenville, Capitol/Wilmington and Clear Channel/Augusta, GA.
