Speaker Biography
Mike Greenberg (BSJ89) is a member of the National Association of Broadcasters’ Broadcasting Hall of Fame, the National Radio Hall of Fame and Medill’s Hall of Achievement.
Sports fans listened to Greenberg as one of the hosts on “Mike & Mike” for almost two decades on ESPN Radio. He started his career with ESPN as an anchor in September 1996 with the launch of ESPNEWS. He also anchored ESPN’s “SportsCenter.”
Recently, Greenberg became host of “NBA Countdown.” He continues to host “Get Up,” ESPN’s morning show, which he began in 2018. He returned to ESPN Radio in August 2020 hosting “#Greeny.” He’s also been host of “Bettor Days with Mike Greenberg” since September 2020.
In addition to his radio and broadcast milestones, Greenberg has authored multiple books, including several New York Times Best Sellers.
Before joining ESPN in 1996, Greenberg was a sports columnist for the Copley News Service in California. He also reported for SportsChannel Chicago and was a sports anchor for the regional cable news network CLTV. He reported on events including the World Series and the Super Bowl for Chicago’s WSCR-Radio and was a sports anchor/reporter for Chicago’s WMAQ-Radio.
Mike and his wife, Stacy Steponate Greenberg (IMC95), have two children at Northwestern, Nikki (WCAS23) and Stephen (COMM25).
In 2017, they created the Stacy Steponate and Mike Greenberg Scholarship to support undergraduate Medill students with financial need.
