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

On Thursday, December 11th, we’ll share the latest showcase of stories by Rising Rock students from this past semester here on Scenic Roots.

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

I spoke with him - and these Rising Rock students:

Addison Middleton is a senior and head editor for Rising Rock.
Clara Paulson is a junior and a section editor for Rising Rock.
Malcolm Key, a senior, is our liaison with Rising Rock for the showcase - beyond the class, he hosts his own music show here on WUTC, “The Soundpainter.”
