Eastern Michigan University (EMU) will mark the relocation of its public radio station, WEMU, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, February 12. The event will take place from 3 to 4 p.m. at the ground level of Halle Library, located at 955 W Circle Dr., Ypsilanti.
The ceremony will include remarks from EMU President James Smith, members of the Board of Regents, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, as well as students, faculty, and staff. Following the remarks and ribbon-cutting, attendees will be given a guided tour of the new radio station facilities.
