"Good morning, Cobber family!"

 

This collection of videos showcases excerpts from G.L. Schoberg's "Concordially Yours" radio broadcasts from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1960s, which often started with that familiar greeting. Schoberg was a member of the Foreign Language Department from 1930 to 1969. He wrote and broadcasted the radio show "Concordially Yours" from 1938 to 1966. These popular productions, nicknamed "Cobbercasts," included news and updates from the campus, along with tales from the history of Concordia.

 

This online exhibit was created for the Concordia 125th Anniversary Exhibit by students Layne Cole, Corinne Burrell, and Jenna Collins in the course Doing Digital History, taught by Dr. Joy Lintelman.
