YES: Students from Washington and Jefferson College

New at Neighborhoodvoices: The Saturday Light Brigade was lucky enough to have four very special guests from Washington and Jefferson College visit our studio this past Saturday. DeAndre Simmons, Michelle Kelly, Lindsay Smith, and Erikka Loper stopped by the studio as a field trip for their class with Dr. Anthony Fleury, of Washington and Jefferson’s Theater and Communications Department. Each student hosts and/or produces a radio show on Washington and Jefferson’s college station, WNJR. The four took some time to talk to us about themselves, their education, and their radio shows, live on SLB.
