Condolences

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Cinamon Kopicki, director of Business Services, who passed away Wednesday, May 13. After her first career in laboratory management, Cinamon transitioned into roles supporting students with their academic success and joined KU in 2023. She had a love of problem solving and working with fellow team members to brainstorm innovative solutions. Cinamon also had a passion for design and often utilized her creativity in and out of the workplace. A celebration of Cinamon's life will be held 1-3 p.m. Saturday, May 30, at Kopicki-Bradley Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc., 239 S. 9th St., Reading, PA 19602. Words of remembrance will be shared beginning at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Kutztown University Foundation, designated to the KU Marching Band.

Campuswide Grass Fertilizer and Weed Control Application

Please stay off treated areas until the grass is dry, which typically takes about 30 minutes, but can vary depending on weather conditions.

KUR Summertime Format

Every summer, KUR does something unique with our summertime sound, something our students worked on the entire semester prior in preparation. This summer, we're extending our popular classical music morning block one hour from 6-9 a.m. Following that, two hours of relaxing new age sounds from 9-11 a.m., a genre never explored much prior to now on KUR. After 11 a.m., it's over five decades of light and easy sounds, everything from Frank Sinatra to Whitney Houston to The Doobie Brothers. But it's not all retro, easy sounds. In between, lunchtimes from noon to 1 p.m., an hour of the best current top-40 pop on the radio from different countries around the world. Later at night, the best sounds of traditional jazz from 7-10 p.m. followed by soft easy instrumental-focused pop overnights. Student specialty shows will occasionally preempt this schedule. Listen to KUR at your desk or in your car and Bluetooth it to your vehicle stereo or use the "TuneIn," "myTuner" or "Radio Garden" apps and searching for "Kutztown University Radio."
