(Long Island, NY) Old Westbury Web Radio, the student-run radio station of SUNY Old Westbury, has been featured on the cover of the July 2015 edition of Radio magazine, the leading technology publication for the radio industry. OWWR and its studios are covered in the publication as the featured “Facility Showcase.”
“Education is about more than simply the acquisition of knowledge,” said College President Calvin O. Butts, III. “Critical in every discipline is the linkage between knowledge and practice. We are very proud that OWWR and its facilities have earned this national attention, as it clearly illustrates the high quality of the learning environment we provide for our students.”

While OWWR is an interdisciplinary setting open to all students of the College, the station has developed over its nearly ten year history into a key component of the College’s Media and Communications degree program. Old Westbury’s major in Media and Communications provides students with a grounding in the economic, political, social, and intellectual history of the U.S. combined with theoretical and practical courses in journalism and production for radio, television, newspapers and interactive media.
“Radio can play a major role in the development of a student at any stage of his or her academic career,” said OWWR Station Manager Joseph Manfredi. “OWWR provides an environment that encourages students to find their own voice, their thought processes, and their self-perception while they assume ownership of their education and future.”
Published monthly for more than 20 years, Radio magazine reaches radio engineers and station management offering the latest information on cutting-edge technology in the radio industry and current happenings in the radio/broadcast marketplace.
