The Station Manager works closely with student staff, volunteers, and the ASUAF Advisor to support a collaborative and well-functioning team. This includes providing guidance, assigning responsibilities, and ensuring that all members have the tools and support needed to succeed in their roles. The Station Manager also oversees training and development opportunities, helping to cultivate a strong, knowledgeable, and engaged station staff.
In addition to internal leadership, the Station Manager serves as the primary representative and spokesperson for KSUA, maintaining the station’s presence on campus and building relationships through events, partnerships, and public engagement.
