May Term and Summer Shows

May Term is a perfect time to try out being a DJ or to continue the show you’ve had all semester.

We will be broadcasting and webcasting as usual during May. If you would like a show during May Term, whether or not you have had a show in the past, please email Jason at jprechte@iwu.edu. In your email, include a list of times you have available. You may also indicate a preference for a particular slot, though we may not be able to accomodate everyone’s first choice. We will hold a meeting for first-time DJs on May 9th, time and place to be announced.

Also, we would also like to get a sense for interest in doing summer shows. We will decide if we will broadcast this summer based on the level of interest, so if you want a show this summer, email Kari at kirwin@iwu.edu as soon as possible!
