A year and two months ago, Zoom was still fairly unknown even though it was founded in April 2011. Eric Yuan certainly couldnât have predicted how much his company would take off in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic exponentially increased Zoomâs usefulness. For two East Carter students to be a pair of only four selected to host an award celebration recognizing Yuan is quite a remarkable honor. Yuan, the CEO and founder of Zoom Video Communications, Inc., earned the Reach the Worldâs 2021 Cronkite Award for Excellence in Storytelling. McClain Dyer, a senior, and Brody Shearer, a freshman, hosted the celebration and even got to ask Yuan a question apiece.
