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. For the past station members finding their way here on the internet and the current members interested in the station's organizational history, this page is for you.
