Interested in Summer DJing?

Posted: May 7 2009

As school draws to a close, so does KCSU’s spring schedule. But wait! No worries because that means we have openings for summer DJs. If you’ve ever thought about getting trained to be a DJ at KCSU, summer is the perfect time. After you’ve finished training, you’ll have the opportunity to have a show between 9am and 5pm on the weekdays. These are prime spots that are very competitive during the school year, but are wide open during the summer.

If interested, come visit us at Student Media in the Lory Student Center, or email training@kcsufm.com.
