A Conversation with George Walker // Student Leader at Rufus King High School in Milwaukee
Manage episode 313399354 series 3269387
When I was first introduced to George Walker through 88Nine Radio Milwaukee Host Tarik Moody, I had no idea George was a student at Rufus King High School in Milwaukee. I thought for sure this was an educator trying to bring esports to his school. George has worked with school staff to enter his high school, this spring in the midst of a pandemic lockdown, as a member of the Wisconsin High School Esports Association. This is my first student conversation on the podcast.
