 Your favorite radio station, KUR, finds it amusing that some college stations go dormant, air a CD player on repeat, or just go off-the-air during breaks. At KUR, the airwaves stay full of programming 24/7/365 right through the holidays, proudly serving the community with entertainment, information, and public service! This holiday/winter break shall be no different! In fact, tune in Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for 48 hours of non-stop programming holiday music and special student shows! More details on our website as we draw closer to the holidays! http://kur.kutztown.edu/

Commencement was held on Saturday morning for more than 600 graduates and 3,000 attendees. Here are two stories from the media and video coverage and photographs by University Relations:
