Every day we are bombarded with news of the economic crisis we face today. This, of course, is a concern for everyone. The crisis affects the way we all spend our time, our money and energy. Public radio stations depend heavily on financial support from individual donors, like you. In difficult times, we need your continued support.

You are a huge part of the reason why we are here and we are more determined than ever to keep the programming services you love in place without fail. We are hopeful that all of our listeners will continue to stand with us and support our efforts as we campaign to keep WNCU on the airwaves during Fall Fest 2009 from October 12-18, 2009.

We offer listeners the highly praised favorites they look forward to hearing on WNCU: Morning, Afternoon and Evening Jazz; Democracy Now; 8-Track Flashback; and Hallelujah Praise,  just to name a few. It is the programming we offer that has personally moved our volunteers to become members of the station.

A lot.  Today, the classroom is different and Dr. Patricia Russell-McCloud is ready to move students, professors, administrators, and the community to new levels of collaboration.

Russell-McCloud is coming to North Carolina Central University as part of the institution’s Centennial Lyceum program on Tuesday, October 13, 2009, at 6 p.m, in the McDougald- McLendon Gymnasium.  The topic of the lecture is Education UpgradeEmpowering, Energizing and Enlightening!

According to the motivational speaker’s biography, she is an “internationally acclaimed orator and author who motivates and encourages students, and faculty… to increase their educational opportunities for mainstream opportunities in the public and private sector job markets.”

The lecture Education UpgradeEmpowering, Energizing and Enlightening! is free and open to the public. For additional information, please contact:  Natasha Adams at (919) 530-6932 or email: <[email protected]>.
