but it also provides information on campus
updates and events schedule. Dr. Brad
Rawlins, dean of the College of Media and
Communication, said everyone is welcome to
be part of RWR regardless of experience.
Students broadcast scheduled programs,
news, and talk segments monitored by faculty.
RWR offers various music genres including
rock, pop, R&B, and hip-hop.
According to a recent survey, 90% of

A-State students listen to RWR on a

SmartCampus app.
There is a variety of things I like about the
