Halfway There: Join Us in Reaching Our Fundraising Goal!

September 09, 2023

Thanks to our amazing supporters we have officially reached 50% of our goal! This means, half of our team is going to the National Association of Broadcasters' Radio Show (expo and conference) and the Marconi Awards Ceremony at the Javits Center in New York City!

Our goal is to bring our entire WMSC volunteer student management team because it does take a village to achieve greatness! While the conference and awards ceremony sounds just like a lot of fun and it is,  it is also a terrific opportunity for our hard-working, volunteer students to network with radio owners, personalities and people who are movers and shaker in the industry of radio and audio, where they would like to make a career. It is true that networking can really help advance careers, but it is key to be strategic in finding the RIGHT people who can help you get there. So what better place than Radio's Biggest Night which gathers all the luminaries of our industry? 

This week as the deadline on this fundraiser looms, we asked our student management team what would they do if they got to go to the NAB Radio Show & Marconi Awards Ceremony, and their responses are proof of how much this opportunity means to them. Take a look at the video to see their answers!

Feel free to share this video with everyone you think may want to be part of this journey!

Six Additional Award Nominations: Igniting Excellence in Student Media

We are thrilled to share some incredible news with you – on the heels of the Marconi Award nomination, our station has recently been honored with not one, not two, but six nominations for the 2023 CBI National Student Production Awards! This remarkable achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering outstanding content and elevating the educational experience of our students.

The work of eleven students and recent alumni at the campus radio station earned the student-operated outlet six nominations in the following categories:

 

  1. Best Promo: “Tunes on Tuesday” by Jared Tauber. This is Tauber’s second nomination in this category. Last year his 2022 promo for the show won the first place award. 
  2. Best PSA (Public Service Announcement): “NJ Hike” by Marissa Thorn. 
  3. Best Feature News Reporting: “Administration & Campus Experience Report” by Terry Dickerson.
  4. Best Regularly Scheduled Entertainment Program “The Morning Buzz – Halloween Edition” by JT Bethea and Isaias Ramirez

The awards ceremony will take place at the CBI National Student Media Convention in Orlando on October 21, where industry professionals, educators, and students will converge to celebrate excellence in student media.
