On Oct. 4, Mako Radio will host the 14th annual World College Radio Day, an all-day event with over 1,700 stations participating nationally.
In the past, Mako Radio has celebrated World College Radio Day, but this year marks its biggest national event, as it was selected to represent Florida, collaborating with 30 other student radio stations in the state.
The theme for this year, “The Soundtrack of Democracy,” was chosen by the College Radio Foundation, which founded World College Radio Day in 2010. To coincide with the theme, Mako Radio will advocate for students to vote in the presidential election in November, hosting a variety of events and activities on air and on campus.
According to the College Radio Foundation’s website, World College Radio Day aims to achieve unity among college students, pioneer a yearly cause, and champion advocacy by speaking on various topics on air. World College Radio Day also tailors the music that is played throughout the day to theme alongside speakers who will move forward the ideas of “The Soundtrack of Democracy.” For students at NSU, World College Radio Day can give them an opportunity to have their views and ideas heard.
