About Us - Brooklyn College Radio |
 | 40 Years And Still Rockin 2009 marks Brooklyn College Radio’s 40th year of being a Radio Station entirely run by students. It is the 60th year radio courses being taught at the College with the first ones being offered in 1948 through the Department of Speech. | The Station boasts of a number of illustrious alumni including Z100 Executive Producer Skeery Jones and Scott Herman, Executive Vice President of Operations at CBS Radio. Jones, who produces his station’s flagship Elvis Duran and The Z100 Morning Show, still supports his alma mater with campus visits and frequent “shout outs” on his blog and myspace page. Herman still holds regular barbecues at his house with buddies from his college station. In a written statement sent to last night’s attendees, Herman said he views WBCR as his “first job in radio” and went further by saying that he learned everything he needed for his career at his old college station. WBCR is student operated and supervised by the Brooklyn College Department of Television and Radio. The department offers majors in Television and Radio production and Broadcast Journalism. |
JOSH 
The Muscular Dystrophy Association is a voluntary health agency -- a dedicated partnership between scientists and concerned citizens aimed at conquering neuromuscular diseases that affect more than a million Americans.
MDA combats neuromuscular diseases through programs of worldwide research, comprehensive medical and community services, and far-reaching professional and public health education. With national headquarters in Tucson, MDA has more than 200 offices across the country, sponsors 220 hospital-affiliated clinics and supports nearly 400 research projects around the world.
MDA was created in 1950 by a group of adults with muscular dystrophy, parents of children with muscular dystrophy, and a physician-scientist studying the disorder. Since its earliest days it has been energized by its number-one volunteer and national chairman, entertainer Jerry Lewis.
The Association's programs are funded almost entirely by individual private contributors. MDA seeks no government grants, United Way funding or fees from those it serves.
