Student Leadership
Hello! My name is Pat, I am a senior here at CSU, and KCSU's new Station Manager. I have been with KCSU since I first transferred to CSU in 2023. I started out just DJing as DJ Proto, but swiftly found an opportunity to work as the stations Broadcast Engineer for the past two years, from fall of 2023 to Spring of 2025. During my time here at KCSU I have hosted my shows: Villainous Intermissions, Orders from the Mothership, and Edge of the Atmosphere. I am excited to bring my skills in open communication and kindness to the role of Station Manager, and to bring forward a hard working, high performing staff. I hope to be the best I can be for my staff, the rest of RMSMC, and our community as a whole!

Hi! My name is Sage, I am in my senior year at CSU and the new programming director at KCSU! I have been a DJ since the fall of 2023, and since joining, KCSU has been nothing short of an incredible experience. As DJ Satchel, I have hosted various shows such as In My Bag and Being a Human Being, which have provided me with communication and technical skills to further my understanding of the journalism world. As programming director, knowing the personality and individualism of each DJ truly demonstrates what KCSU is all about! From learning new artists through the station to tabling and promoting, KCSU has delivered numerous opportunities that have helped me develop professionally and socially, and I am excited to help other DJ's and members of the community develop their skills as well!
