2007 Students |
 Dave Nourse is a graduate student at NC State University pursuing a M.Ed. in counselor education. He has been involved in various aspects of the radio industry for several years and at one point was the general manager of WKNC-FM in Raleigh. The Next Generation Radio Project has allowed Dave the opportunity to delve simultaneously into newsgathering and public broadcasting, two critical aspects of the industry which he has yet to experience. When in need of escaping the radio station, Dave turns to cycling and lacrosse. He looks forward to more experiences in public broadcasting and thanks NPR and WUNC for this wonderful opportunity.  |
 Jung Eun Lee is a medical student at Duke University . She received her undergraduate degree from MIT with a double major in biology and Chemical Engineering.

In the fall, Eun will be moving to Bethesda, MD to participate in the HHMI-NIH Research Fellows program for biomedical research. In her free time, Eun enjoys giving free (and often unsolicited) medical advice to family and friends, running 5K races, cooking, and drinking sugar free vanilla skim lattes. |
 Meenakshi Chivukula says: "Back in high school my best friend and I were known for asking people to "tell me a story." And we listened to those agreed. In a way, the transition from listening to reporting sums up my four years as a liberal arts student at Duke University. I adore radio as a space of possibility, imagination, and accessibility. As a recent graduate, I hope that one day I can find my voice somewhere in radio." |
