Each semester, the LEAP Ambassadors join one of their friends at KSAM, News Director Larry Crippen, for an “Around Town,” where they have a chance to fill in the public on upcoming activities with which they are involved. So Olivia Discon, Chrissy Biello, and newly minted LEAP Ambassador Michelle Moya arrived at KSAM at 8:30am last week to go on air!
Each of the students had a chance to discuss recent and upcoming events, with a heavy emphasis on their recent travels on the east coast for the presidential inauguration.
In approximately eight minutes, they were able to fit in quite a bit of information, which you can listen to here.
This is, of course, part of LEAP’s efforts to not only help the community, but also to enhance the skills of the students who are helping the community. An event such as the taping of “Around Town” not only increases awareness of events, but also sharpens the Ambassadors’ media skills.
Of course, if you don’t want to listen to the entire broadcast, you can also review our upcoming events, below. We hope you can make some of them!
