Disney Channel Worldwide President Rich Ross (C'83) at 14th Annual (Los Angeles) Penn in Pictures
Rich Ross (C'83) just was named #14 on out.com's 2nd annual "Power 50" list.Per out.com:
"When it comes to program-ming for children and adolescents, the president of Disney Channel Worldwide probably has more clout than anyone else on television. Since his appointment in 2004, Ross—who is responsible for 62 Disney channels and offshoots including CDs, toys, games, clothes, and international tours—has spearheaded tween juggernauts Hannah Montana and the Emmy-winning High School Musical, whose 2007 sequel attracted the largest audience ever for any basic cable telecast and spawned a soundtrack that became the number 2 album of 2007."
Pretty impressive...
Speaking of Rich, last week, he just confirmed in the trades that Disney is now writing High School Music 4. Can someone say cash cow?
Ever since I've been at Penn, I know Rich has come back from time to time to speak to undergrads looking to get into entertainment. He has been very helpful to both undergrads and alumni...
Back in 2003, Rich was a panelist in our Penn in Pictures event with Todd Lieberman (C'95, Partner at Mandeville Production company) and Joan Harrison (C'81, Bloomers, then Literary Agent).

Disney's Rich Ross (C'83) / Brian Yanish (C'95) to appear at Licensing International Expo 2007 (NYC)
Monday, June 18, 2007
Rich Ross (C'83), President Disney Channel Worldwide, will be appearing at the Licensing International Expo 2007 (Javits Convention Center, NYC) tomorrow at 9:30 am, to announce new extensions to the Hannah Montana brand including a new fashion line, youth electronics and details about Miley Cyrus's (star of Hannah Montana) upcoming CD and concert tour.Over the years (especially back in my college days), Rich had come to campus and given talks about getting into the business. A great resource for alumni coming to Los Angeles.
...Also, apearing at the Licensing International Expo on June 19-21 is illustrator Brian Yanish (C'95, Mask and Wig, Friars).
Brian will promote his children's property The Scrapkins at Booth #2138. ...What really happens to the stuff you throw away? Come see the silly and grossly imagined world of recycling from a child's perspective.
Brian brings over 10 years experience working in illustration and licensed product design. His mission is to create engaging and inspiring content for children that promotes an active imagination, positive self-image, and the silly joy of being a kid.
...I've known Brian since my Mask and Wig days and he is extremely creative and talented.
Any Penn alumni in the children's publishing world out there? Be sure to check out Brian's site!
