From the Vault: Michael Phelps and Loyola
July 20th, 2010 by The Professor
We all know how much Michael achieved at the 2004 Olympics. The records set and shattered, and the shine of all that Olympic gold. What a lot of folks don’t know is the connection to Loyola. Michael was a volunteer swimming coach at Loyola in 2004, and came back to do a swimming demonstration and discussion in September BEFORE going off to achieve Olympic fame (do 14 medals constitute fame or demi-god status?) We just found a few photos and somewhere we even have audio from the press conference…

Middle Grades Radio Boot Camp
July 13th, 2010 by The Professor
It’s time for this year’s Middle Grades Partnership summer radio boot camp at WLOY! This year’s class is a bit smaller, at 13, but they’re already having a blast. Students come in for a 2 day session. Day 1 is a discussion of the process of radio programming and production, a chance to select and read news stories live on the air and planning for a feature story. Over the course of the next week, the students work independently to develop their very own feature story on a topic of their choosing. For Day 2 the students sit down and review their written feature, convert it to a radio text and record it. We add in production elements from sound effects to music beds in order to enhance their work. Once complete, you’ll be able to hear their stories on the air on WLOY and right here on the website. This is our 3rd year of the program and it’s always a ton of fun to give rising 9th graders a chance to experience something new and special Stay tuned for their finished works and tune in on the 13th and 14th to WLOY at 11am to hear their live news reads.

WLOY Joins Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
July 10th, 2010 by The Professor
Filming begins this weekend on a Baltimore-set episode of the ABC program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Members of the Loyola community, including representatives from the Loyola Alumni Association’s Service and Spirituality Committee, have already volunteered to support the effort, but there is still a need for more help. We need to see more Loyola students at the project site this week! WLOY will be there with live broadcasts, music and free stuff to encourage more people to pitch in. It’s summertime, but that’s no reason to miss out on a great chance to help. You need to sign up to volunteer!
Boys Hope Girls Hope Baltimore, a non-profit organization that provides children who are at risk with a stable home, positive parenting, high-quality education, and other supports needed to reach their full potential. The Baltimore program opened a house for its male scholars in 2002, but has not yet established a dedicated facility for the girls. This project will offer Girls Hope and its seven promising young women a safe place to call home.
