The student SPJ chapter is a subsection of the Long Island Press Club, the professional organization of journalists living or working on Long Island, and the two groups work together closely on various journalistic projects and social events. The Hofstra chapter regularly sponsors career conferences, discussion groups, and field trips, all on the cutting edge of journalism. Working with the national unit, the chapter will sponsor social events, career shadow days, internships, scholarships, career fairs, and job opportunity banks. The station is student staffed and operated with the help of professional members of the School of Communication and community volunteers. The station offers one ten-week noncredit class per semester to students interested in joining the station.
Topics covered in the class include audio engineering, announcing, production, and more.
Regular work at WRHU is recommended as one of the most effective ways to learn radio broadcasting and audio production.
