Are you wondering who Specs Howard is? The school is named after the professional moniker of its founder, radio pioneer Jerry Liebman. Liebman choose “Specs” because of his trademark horn rimmed glasses and amusingly, he randomly chose “Howard” out of a phone book. Over forty years later, you’ll still see Liebman in the hallways of the Specs Howard School of Media Arts.
