Hub City Jazz teams up with Kean University to bring on two student interns for the Summer of 2020. We are excited about the opportunity to work with these two students as we begin to roll out Jazz Colors Radio, promote our online platform of live performances, and expand our reach locally and internationally for live jazz music and entertainment. We have some exciting projects for the interns to engage and explore their respective majors and look forward to their contribution. We want to give a special thanks to the university’s Liberal Arts/Communications and Business Management programs for collaborating with us on this initiative and expect to continue with this push to further the education of dedicated students.
