Rising Rock

(Aired Tues 4/29/25)

Rising Rock is a multimedia storytelling class here on our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

This Thursday, we’ll share the latest showcase of stories by Rising Rock students from this past semester.

Billy Weeks teaches the class in UTC’s Communication Department.

I spoke with him - and four Rising Rock students: Alexis Carpenter, Miller Richardson, Maya Spratley and Connor Spelta.
