11. Reflection
The radio station does a good job of connecting Wright
State students and informing them of events on campus
and allows clubs to promote themselves.
They promote sports, local artists and allow students to
further their dreams of working in radio.
All in all, the station is a good thing for the university and
does well in keeping the community close
