What an amazing honor to mentor the next generation of Christian Radio professionals! We’re not just asking the question of where are they coming from. We are doing something about it!

Josh Villa
<Station Manager, WCRF>

I soaked up every last drop of information from the amazing speakers and gained so much insight on the industry of radio and broadcasting! CMBU welcomed each and every one of us students, encouraged our dreams and goals, and gave us vital guidance for where we want to go in the industry.
