Declaration of Candidacy

2008-10-14T23:15:47-06:00

My name is Jennifer Underwood and I would like to declare my candidacy for WSUM Station Manager 2009. I have learned so much this past year working as a Traffic Director on the WSUM Executive Management Team. I plan to use this experience to make the station's transition to the New Year and new building a smooth one.

Aside from the WSUM Executive Management Team, I have also held leadership positions through Powers-Knapp (PK) Scholars, a scholarship program on campus that works to promote diversity and the success of historically underrepresented scholars. Through PK, I have been able to hone the interpersonal skills necessary to assist in leading a large group of people. Furthermore, I have recently completed an internship through Broadcast Interactive Media (BIM), a company that develops and maintains revenue-generating websites for media stations across the country. My time with BIM sharpened my attention to detail and required me to organize content and ad space for over 160 media stations.

My time as Traffic Director has only strengthened my commitment to WSUM. I hope that everyone who is, or becomes a member of WSUM has the opportunity to experience the station the way I have been able to. It is my goal that all members feel welcome at the station whether they are a new trainee, a fifth-year senior, a community member, or anything in between. Everything that we do at the station depends on DJ involvement and I will help to create a station environment that makes everyone feel comfortable and invited.

I am dedicated to the success of WSUM. I will make it my priority to be available to everyone and make every DJ's experience within the WSUM family a positive one.
