He learned about the radio station at the Involvement Fair at the beginning of his first year when, he says, he didn’t know if college was for him.

I have not looked back.” He also talked about revamping the WNHU.org website and creating Open Studios night, taking place weekly on Thursday evenings from 7 to 8:30 p.m., when students are invited to learn more about the station and even get on the air. “I want to give people the same exact experience I got to have.”
