WLOY Honfest 2010

Honfest 2010 is here! As usual, it’s going to be two of the hottest days of the summer. No need to worry! WLOY will be giving out free iced coffee courtesy of Zeke’s both Saturday and Sunday. We’ll be trying to keep cool under out tent on The Avenue in Hampden (that’s 36th St for those of you who don’t know). In addition to FREE iced coffee, we will also have CDs, bumper stickers, and WLOYcards!.

For those of you who want more information on Honfest and what it’s all about, check out the Honfest website.

Hans at play

June 9th, 2010 by The Professor

Hans at play. Since he is no longer a DJ, or even a student, we really have no explanation for this photo. It was recently discovered and we just felt it needed to be shared. We tell the monkeys not to feed Hans, but… they always do and it makes him so happy. It’s a wonder they let him leave Ghana.

WLOY @ Kidstock 2010

June 3rd, 2010 by The Professor

A new festival for kids debuts this year in Lauraville. Kidstock promises to be a blast for kids of all ages with music and fun from noon to 5pm.

WLOY will be there all day running a special What Happens Next? program for any kids that wish to participate. Even if you don’t come to the regular sessions on campus (Fridays 4-6pm) you are welcome to come to the booth and finish one of the special stories created for the event. From noon to 3pm you can even meet the author Esta de Fossard and work with her on your story!

UPDATE: The recordings we did at Kidstock on Sunday will air this weekend (June 12/13) during the Baltimore Community Radio Hour (Saturday @ noon, Sunday @ 2pm). Hear what fun the kids had and you missed! Feel free to email wloy@loyola.edu if you would like to join our weekly groups – or stop by the booth at Honfest this weekend!

The Professor Wins an Award!

May 16th, 2010 by Tim Teeling

John Devecka Loyola AMDG Award Winner 2010

WLOY is proud to announce that our Operations Manager, John Devecka, has won the 2010 Loyola University AMDG Community Award. He is the man who started our push for Haiti relief fundraising. Without him, there wouldn’t have been a 100% match from the Aber D. Unger Foundation. John has made an impact on the Loyola Campus, the Greater Baltimore Community, and from his efforts this past semester, to countless people in Haiti.

The entire WLOY staff would like to thank John for all his hard work over the years at WLOY. We are proud of you and proud to say we work for WLOY. Read the full press release after the break!

Lance Says Goodbye

May 14th, 2010 by The Professor

Lance sheds a single tear in memory of the good times in Austin and all the graduating seniors of 2010. With thanks and great hopes for your futures, WLOY says goodbye to Eric “Hans” Sappington, Rich “The DJ” Rodrigues, Jeff “The X is Silent” Malone, Mike “The Red” Mennis, Jenna Mercadante, Brittany Sigler and Heather Doyle. We also wonder why only the guys got dorky nicknames.

You’re all leaving on a high note as Club of the Year! Not a bad way to go out. Congratulations and all the best for the future!! You will be missed. Well, maybe not Eric, but the rest of you certainly will be. Lance reminds Hans that what happens in Austin stays in Austin, unless you’re dumb enough to leave photos behind… which will be very helpful when soliciting alumni donations
