Getting Involved
Every semester we invite all interested students, regardless of their academic major/focus, to get involved at KCOU. We hold informational sessions where they can learn more about the station and conduct a comprehensive training program to provide new staff members with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed at KCOU. This past year we welcomed over 90 new student staff members to KCOU, who joined our veteran staff to bring you the best in new music, Mizzou news & sports, engaging talk shows, exciting events, great contests, and lots more!
If you are interested in getting involved in KCOU – email nick@kcou.fm for more information on how to go about that. Keep in mind that there are also a number ways to work at KCOU beyond just DJ’ing – like news, sports, promotions, audio production, and underwriting/advertising/development!
2011-2012 Executive Staff
KCOU is made possible day-in and day-out by a passionate volunteer staff of over 100 students.
