Hi All,
WNUR has been and is the most important organization in my life. Throughout my time at Northwestern the station has been a home, a family and a playground and as I approach my own graduation in December I can not imagine what my time here would have been without it. Thank you for caring about WNUR, and thank you for making my past three years truly memorable. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am officially no longer general manager, please direct all of your questions and concerns to Nick Anderson. There is no one I would be more comfortable leaving the station with, and I’m sure he will do a great job. I’ll still be around as a DJ and a student until December and likely will be assuming the position of community DJ after that and am excited to see how the stations grows.

Before parting, I wanted to address the current situation with station maintenance. I sincerely apologize for the way I handled the situation, I should have let you all know as soon as I did that the station would be going to a period of automated transmission so that we could all prepare accordingly. While I can understand your frustrations, I was disappointed when a small number of you took this as an opportunity to publicly air your frustrations. The way in which you handled yourself was disrespectful to me, disrespectful to Gabe and frankly not the way we do things around here. Gabe and Nick are going beyond the calling of their jobs to rewire the entire rack in the OACR and to install new transmitters which will allow us to more successfully broadcast into the future, and for this they deserve a thank you more than the anger and disrespect some of you aired. While I understand your frustrations, please, as we move forward do not use the listserv to do this, and do not use email as a platform to attack the students who volunteer their time and energy to keep this station running. WNUR is a STUDENT run radio station, and so by its nature is not professional. In my opinion, this naivety makes WNUR unique and great, however, if you can not handle or respect the students who run this station feel free to take your programming elsewhere.

While the events which have taken place this past week have been somewhat of a disappointment, they do not null the incredible year we had together, from our record phoneathon and the new jazz series to three quarters of 24/7 and the slug summer festival. Thank you for an incredible year at WNUR, to many more!

All The Best,
Brock
