KUGR Cougar College Radio
KUGR is an on-campus radio station which will launch its new hybrid format in fall 2011. The station will play a mix of top 40 (contemporary hits), charted alternative and charted triple A during automated hours. Students have the opportunity to host a two-hour weekly radio show from political talk to sports and everything in between. Some shows have become popular because of the interesting musical personality of their playlists. KUGR also carries selected Cougar sports such as basketball and baseball, which students can call live.
Murrow Student Ambassadors
We are a student organization that aims to involve past, current, and future Murrow Cougs in the Murrow College through various recruitment and retention events. We are for students, by students.
Current students can join the ambassadors at Murrow Minutes and hang out and ask questions every week.
We are an interview-based club meaning to be an ambassador you must be interviewed and accepted. New ambassador interviews happen in the spring and summer. If a student is interested in becoming an ambassador, we encourage them to attend Murrow Minutes and any other ambassador events.
