UWO alumna, Disney exec latest guest on Prof. Palmeri's '498 Show' podcast

Titans alumni achieve some amazing things in their careers and lives. Paige Bonanno's journey, '14, certainly qualifies.

Above, check out the latest episode of UW-Oshkosh Communication Studies Professor Tony Palmeri's "498 Show" podcast with Bonanno, a UWO alumna and Executive Producer with Walt Disney Studios in Los Angeles, Calif.

… What's the deal with the "498," you ask? Great question.

"The name '498 Show' comes from the course COMM 498 (Capstone in Communication Studies)," Palmeri said. "When the class was only offered in-person, we would traditionally ask a few alum each semester to visit campus to talk to current students about life post-UWO. When the Covid period made Zoom usage more prominent in education, we would have a mix of alum appearing in-person and via zoom."

Thanks, Dr. P. And thanks for producing such an amazing podcast that showcases what's best about UWO!

"So far it has been a joy to reconnect with our alumni," Palmeri said. "My colleagues believe that the videos will be a great recruitment tool."

We agree. Enjoy this episode and those to come!…
