FALL 1989 The first student leadership team was put in place and advisor, students, and maintenance installed the broadcast hardware on campus. 1995 WSRN switched to U99.5 FM, using low power FM technology, due to interference from the newly established CedarNet and the, until then, forbidden personal refrigerators. APRIL 5 1990 WSRN, the Student Radio Network launched at AM 530, using campus carrier technology, from the third floor of Collins Hall. FALL 2000 U99.5 FM relocated to the brandnew Stevens Student Center. SPRING 2011 Due to research indicating that students were no longer bringing radios to campus, Resound turned off the FM transmitter and became a streaming only station at resoundradio.com and reaching out via the Internet. FALL 2007 U99.5 reimaged as Resound Radio. FALL 2015 Resound added an App to allow listeners to listen anywhere and anytime. CM: How does working at Resound prepare students for the future? JL: Working at Resound prepares many students to hit the ground running in a radio station or network by gaining experience in on-air work, production, promotions, visual and social media, programming, and following and leading as part of a team. CM: What impact has Resound had on campus and in the community? JL: There have been many accounts from listeners, on and off campus (internationally, too), of how a song played or a word spoken by a student host has been used by the Lord to meet a particular need in a life. I believe that our students learn that God sets appointments for us to meet with the music that we play and with the words that we speak. CM: How have you seen Resound provide opportunities to mentor/disciple students? JL: I have had the privilege to mentor many students over the years. God has allowed me to help them discover their gifts and apply them in media, encourage them through academic and life challenges, help them connect with stations and networks for jobs, and stay connected as they launch careers and families. CM: Do you have a favorite memory from your work with Resound? JL: There are so many that it is hard to pick one. My favorite memories are of the times that I saw the Lord help students realize their gifts (light bulb moments) and then apply them at the student radio station and after graduation at stations and networks around the country. CM: What do you see for the future of Resound Radio? JL: I trust that the Lord will continue to help us accomplish our mission of training students to serve Christ in the media while we grow and serve our audience. I pray that God will send more students with a vision to influence culture through radio/media and that we will continue to stay current with technological changes that are bound to come.
