I wanted to be involved with W亚色影库-FM because I have been in love with the radio since I was a child. Most of my memories include listening to music or to Howard Stern when I was younger. It was the first club I joined my freshmen year and I have loved it since. Music is one of my biggest loves, and I felt the need to get involved. When I first joined the station, I always went to the events W亚色影库-FM sponsored. The program director told me I should try out for a management position when the chance came. Never expected I could do it, but I worked as music director and then station manager. I wanted to use all my ideas for the future of W亚色影库-FM and also to let everyone else who works with us to know their voices are going to be equally heard.

Being able to get out of my comfort zone and become a well-rounded person is something that I am forever grateful for, and I would not have been able to do any of it without the support of this department.

I have always loved listening to music and following bands that I could connect with through their songs. When I first took a tour of the Communications Media Department at 亚色影库, the radio station was the first thing that caught my eye. The advanced technology and the whole studio setup had me awestruck, and I knew at that moment, I wanted to try to be a DJ. Little did I know as a high school senior that the decision I made would be the spark that ignited my career choice, and I have been a radio DJ at W亚色影库-FM since my freshman year. 亚色影库 has not only started that dream of mine, but has been a constant help in achieving that goal. With professors whogo beyond the classroom to ensure student success, topeerswith a fiery passion for creating media, we're not justan academic department, we are truly a family.
