Few music industry vets approach the level of royalty in the radio world that Andrea Ganis, Variety‘s Hitbreaker of the Year, inhabits. She rose through the ranks at Atlantic Records until they had to create a new title for her: president of promotion.

“Atlantic was a powerhouse then as it is now, so I got to work legendary acts throughout my career,” says the New York native. “My early years began with the Rolling Stones, Bette Midler, Abba, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Phil Collins, U2, Stevie Nicks and so many more, including songs that I forgot I promoted until I hear them in a store and point up and say, ‘I worked that record!’”

That streak has continued over the years, particularly with the remarkably consistent current regime of co-chairs Craig Kallman and Julie Greenwald, who have steered the ship since 2004.

Hopkins was hired by Ebben in 1991 as director for mission integration and remembers his ability to build personal relationships with people from board members to students and a passion for education rooted in creating “a more just and compassionate world.”

“There was a hunger in him to learn something new every day, whether it was reading, whether it was traveling, whether it was talking with people,” said Hopkins, who retired from Edgewood in June.

U president projects deficit of up to $175 million in current fiscal year

[email protected]_84

The University of Minnesota is looking at a projected budget shortfall of $150 million to $175 million by the end of the fiscal year in June 2021, President Joan Gabel announced in a letter to faculty and staffers this week.

The pandemic-related shortfall had been expected, but its scope wasn’t known until now. And it remained unclear exactly how the U will plug the financial hole.

In her letter, Gabel wrote in broad language that she has a plan that “includes additional unit and centralized cost-saving measures” and “further use of balances and reserves,” but provided few specifics.

She offered one detail: Pay cuts and furloughs will continue through the second half of the 2021 fiscal year, which ends June 30. When the pay reduction program began in June, Gabel said administrators would reconsider whether the cuts would be necessary for the entire fiscal year. That answer now is yes.
