For the past three years, we have brought you stories from the students of Rising Rock - a multimedia storytelling class here on our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Next month, we’ll share the upcoming showcase of Rising Rock stories from this semester on an entire episode of “Scenic Roots.”

Billy Weeks is the lecturer in communication who teaches the class.

Caroline Colvin is head editor for Rising Rock for this semester - and Cassandra Castillo, Eli Rushing, Maddie Charnes are team editors.
