In 2018, KNOM says goodbye to three outstanding volunteer fellows: Karen Trop, Zoe Grueskin, and Gabe Colombo, who have each contributed much in their service years.
All three have worked as both beat reporters and producers.
Following in their footsteps — and those of decades of volunteers before them — is newly-arrived volunteer fellow Emily Hofstaedter. A native of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Emily will spend her 2018-2019 service year as the morning deejay and a local reporter.
At press time, volunteer recruitment for 2018-2019 is still open. Learn more right here at knom.org.
