Abigail Cunningham

Biography:

I’m Abigail Cunningham and I’m a senior at Marshall University from Sissonville, West Virginia. I’m majoring in Communication Studies and have minors in Advertising and English. I’m the music director at WMUL, and host “Communication Breakdown with Abigail Cunningham” and “Classroom Concerts.” When I’m not at the station, you can usually find me reading a book on Buskirk Field, spending time with my friends, or holed up in my apartment watching tv and crocheting.
