Candidate Statements: Student Representative (unopposed)

Laura Mooney
I am the General Manager of NC State’s radio station WKNC and enjoy being able to engage with the community of the Triangle. As a DJ I operate WKNC’s long-standing local music showcase and interview series, the Local Beat. Outside of the station I run my own booking network and work with artists across the country to set up events within North Carolina. If elected, I will use my community-oriented mindset to expand the relationships between college radio stations and underscore the importance of our influence in media broadcasting. We have the honor of selecting and promoting information and artistry to our audiences and must be aware of these impacts. Being the Student Representative of CBI would allow me to advocate for responsible broadcasting and to work towards greater diversity in college media. I would be proud to uphold this responsibility for the 2020-21 academic year.
