In My Own Words

WMUL has been a great find. I’ve developed talents, I’ve been rewarded with trips and expensive food, I’ve gotten job experience. But, most importantly, I’ve created relationships and friendships with people that will last lifetimes because we have “that common thread” that is WMUL, 88 point one, the Cutting Edge….and it has been a great time. I’m so glad I got involved in this organization, and plan on passing the “good word” that is WMUL to more folks.

Even if my chair always smells funny after Adam has sat in it. Even if my stress level increases every semester. Even if I do things at the last minute. Even if interviews that are half an hour last hours. Even if I stay up until three working on posters only to get up at six to park a car on Buskirk Field and then eat Tudor’s Biscuits. These things are irreplaceable memories—and all happened at WMUL. It’s a great ride, folks. Dive in.
