Blazer Radio has been a club at Hood for 15 years, and after not much student involvement the last few semesters, it\u2019s ready to come back stronger than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blazer Radio is the campus\u2019 student-run radio station that values diversity in its programming and is considered \u201cthe voice of Hood College.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to COVID-19 and online classes, there was not much student involvement last year, which is the basis of the media platform. Without enough students on campus to participate, there was not a lot the club could do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that classes are back in-person and students are once again on campus every day, the adviser of the club, Professor Alan Goldenbach, is eager to get the radio up and running again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goldenbach has been the adviser of the club for the past five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy favorite part of Blazer Radio is seeing the student\u2019s creativity and what they decide to do for each show,\u201d Goldenbach said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blazer Radio, along with the other media clubs, have a brand-new space on the third floor of Rosenstock Hall. This will give the members a more comfortable and updated space to create and encourage more students to join the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main thing that Goldenbach expresses is that students run this club. \u201cI feel very strongly about the students having a say in everything,\u201d Goldenbach said. \u201cStudents decide what plays on the radio, and I even want them to design the new space we get on Rosenstock\u2019s third floor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to getting things running again because I would love to have a small segment on the radio. Not only is it something to add to my media portfolio, but also something I can add to my resume,\u201d senior Kyle Richardson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Goldenbach is unsure where the students will plan to take the radio this year, he is very excited to get it started again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goldenbach sent a campus-wide email to inform students about the upcoming Blazer Radio interest meeting on Sept. 21 at 1 p.m. The meeting will take place on the third floor of Rosenstock Hall and will give students who are interested in joining a chance to learn what the club is all about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
