Hofstra University Continuing Education announces the Eighth Annual Summer Sportscasting Institutes for teens and adults. The Teen Sportscasting Workshop will be offered July 21-25; the Adult Sportscasting Workshop will be offered July 28 - Aug. 2.

The Sportscasting Institute is directed by Ed Ingles, former sports director of WCBS Radio and a veteran of the sports broadcasting industry.
