wcdb and wsua alumni

As a student-run organization at a large public university, WCDB and its predecessor WSUA have affected the lives of a great many student volunteers who participated to keep the station running. Equally interesting to the station's long history of significant on air programming is a study of WCDB/WSUA as an organization. It continues to affect the personal, musical and professional lives of all who have worked there, from the lone DJ who only shows up during his air shift to the die hard station devotees who live with, at and for the station at the expense of nearly everything else.

Social networking sites such as Facebook have proven far more effective at keeping alumni members in contact with one another. Here are some WCDB groups on Facebook where you can find most alumni online (Facebook login required):

The Alumni Quote Board is being re-worked and will return in the near future. Meanwhile, here is a list of some of our "founding members."
