Before we had our state-of-the-art recording space on the second floor of Johnston, we had the basement radio studio. 📻

Who has fond memories of hosting a show from here?

Got an equipment problem? Live broadcast feed not working the way it should? Need some help learning Adobe After Effects?

Hundreds of students over nearly nine years have had the same reaction to these issues: Call Don.

We're so proud to see Don Hertz, our manager of technical services, receive a staff excellence award for his outstanding service to the college and to Marquette University. Anyone who has spent significant time around the College of Comm knows just how above and beyond Don goes for our students, and how little credit he ever seeks for it.

Congratulations, Don! After so much time behind the camera, you deserve your moment in front of it 😄

Add a few more awards to the trophy case for the Marquette Wire!

What a way to close out the 2025-2026 academic year for our student journalists 😄
