State College in Centre County, Pennsylvania — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Student Broadcasting
Penn State has been a leader in broadcasting college radio since the class gift of 1912 enabled early national experiments. By 1923, WPSC students were among the first college broadcasters in the nation. Since then, students have learned the craft while fulfilling their public mission to the campus and listening community. While station names and technology change, campus radio continues to enrich student learning and campus life.Erected by Penn State Alumni Association.
