Congratulations to Beasley Broadcasting Chairman and Chief Executive Officer George Beasley, who received a Doctor of Humane Letters, Honoris Causa during Appalachian State University’s recent May commencement. Beasley is a native of Patrick County, Virginia, and has deep ties to Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, where he received his undergraduate and graduate degrees. Most recently, he contributed the lead gift, making a new broadcasting and media facility on campus possible – the George G. Beasley Media Complex, which is scheduled to open later this year.
