The College Radio Foundation is proud to announce this year’s College Radio Day USA Board.
After interviewing candidates across the country, the new board features twelve students from college radio stations from across the USA. The task for the board will be to organize this year’s College Radio Day effort, which is happening on Friday, October 6.
Founder of College Radio Day, Dr. Rob Quicke says “I am very excited to announce this board! The students on it are passionate leaders for college radio who will make this year’s College Radio Day a huge success. Congratulations to everyone!”
The students on the board are as follows, along with their views on the importance of college radio:
Makaylah Wheeler, from WMUL 88.1 FM “The Cutting Edge” at Marshall University: “College radio is important because it gives many up and coming bands a start as well as acting as a mock work environment for student journalists. But everyone knows that. What most people don’t realize is how college radios are the heart of campus because we document the history of town and campus, we adapt to survive the times, we create a safe space and family to support students as they grow.”
Congratulations to everyone for being selected for this year’s CRD Board.
