“Chapman Radio has allowed me to express myself and share my interests with full creative freedom. The station is the space on campus where I am fully comfortable being myself with the support of my peers and staff. The community it has brought me makes me feel like I’m a part of something bigger.”

Isabel Roney ‘22

Former audio production & general manager of Chapman Radio

“Whether you’re a staff member or DJ, you can make Chapman Radio whatever you need it to be for you. What I like is that there are countless possibilities for creating your own unique radio show and a plethora of topics to choose from, which embodies Chapman Radio's openness and diversity.”
