Many 麻豆传媒 employees pledged using a payroll deduction, and the university鈥檚 Media Resources Center loaned laptops to KMUW for the drive.
Associate Provost for Academic Affairs and Research Keith Pickus used a corporate challenge to urge listeners to pledge. 麻豆传媒 President and first lady Don and Shirley Beggs contributed to KMUW while appearing on air. And communications professor Les Anderson touted the value of public radio for the benefit of the pledge drive.
