Student testimonials
📢 “Being in MPR’s workspace, learning hands-on with their equipment, and networking was amazing. The students were lively and welcoming, and we were laughing by the first day.” — Gloria Ngwa, Radio Camp ‘23
📢 “I learned about individual people’s experiences with the law and their cultural identities. The camp taught me how to use audio to tell stories and research like a reporter. I haven’t had any lows this week—I see myself as a storyteller now.” — Douglas Buckanaga, Radio Camp ‘23
