KZSC teaches a 3-unit lecture and a 2-unit lab every quarter at UCSC that trains the DJs you know and love. The Intro to Broadcasting lab is led by a student instructor, and it's where future KZSC DJs gain hands-on experience and training with broadcast equipment.
With your support, KZSC will be able to uphold and maintain our mission statement, which says that we believe every member of our community is both a teacher and a student. Our goal for Spring Give is to fundraise this ongoing student position salary for the 2022–23 academic year.
KZSC is a noncommercial, educational, community radio station and student-run organization at UC Santa Cruz. At our core, we are curators, journalists, and advocates of inclusivity and the collaborative arts. We at KZSC share the goal of uplifting alternative and underrepresented voices in the media. This includes, but is not limited to: women; cultural, ethnic, and racial minorities; people of all sexual orientations and gender identities; as well as seniors and those with disabilities.
As a volunteer-driven space, we are committed to creating a welcoming environment for all volunteers. Stationwide teamwork is fostered through open and transparent communication by KZSC’s student Governing Board. Through underwriting, PSAs, events, and projects, we sustain symbiotic relationships with our local and campus communities. We aim to reflect our values in our internal operations and programming.
Our educational model views every member of our community as both teacher and student, ensuring that institutional and cultural knowledge is transferred between current staff and to future programmers and journalists. KZSC promotes growth by training journalists and DJs to produce quality programs that are accurate, relevant, well produced, and regularly reviewed.
