CMBU has served as a catalyst for professional growth and connection for both me and my students. The investment by veteran professionals in the next generation of broadcasters and content creators is paying impressive dividends. Thank you CMBU!

Jim Leightenheimer

CMBU was an amazing experience. I was a little nervous since I was by myself and new to radio, but every single student and mentor I met was so friendly and helpful. It was so cool to see so many people wanting to use their talents for God's purpose.
