Brave New Radio - Radio Vieques Partnership
In 2018, WP students and faculty traveled to Vieques, Puerto Rico to assist in humanitarian relief efforts months after the destructive Hurricane Maria leveled the island.
Once there, they forged a bond with the people, delivering meals, speaking with victims of all ages, and establishing a relationship with the island's own community radio station:
WVQR Radio Vieques.
As a result, starting in June 2018, WPSC & WVQR will OFFICIALLY form a sister-station relationship, sharing some of their programming across both airwaves.
