WASHINGTON DC – A Texas Tech student has been invited as part of a College Radio delegation visiting the White House today.
Amy Olivarez, a Senior Electronic Media and Communication major, is representing Texas Tech University and its college radio station KTXT-FM, as part of an 18-member delegation of students from across the country to meet with White House officials to discuss College Radio.
The College Radio delegation will have the unique opportunity to be credentialed members of the White House press core; to interview with President Obama’s top domestic policy advisers about college affordability as well as other issues of interest to students. The students may also have the opportunity to interview with other high-ranking officials in discussing the importance of College Radio.
The visit comes in anticipation of the upcoming College Radio Day on November 4th, where College Radio stations across the country will unite and use the day to promote the benefits, opportunities and importance of college radio in the 21st Century.
Amy works at KTXT-FM as the station’s Social Media Director. She was also invited by Dr. Rob Quicke, College Radio Day founder, to serve on the national board in helping to promote College Radio Day via its social media platforms.
