Ashton Gleed ’27, the station manager at WNHU and a graphic and digital design major, shares his journey to a student leadership position with the University’s award-winning radio station. He learned about the radio station at the Involvement Fair at the beginning of his first year when, he says, he didn’t know if college was for him. He remembers thinking at the end of his first meeting with the WNHU team that, “This can be a place for me. I have not looked back.” He also talked about revamping the WNHU.org website and creating Open Studios night, taking place weekly on Thursday evenings from 7 to 8:30 p.m., when students are invited to learn more about the station and even get on the air. “I want to give people the same exact experience I got to have.”
