During a recent visit to his alma mater, Joshua Smith, a 1963 graduate, made a generous contribution of $50,000 to WCSU FM, the country’s oldest continually operating HBCU radio station. Dedicated to empowering young professionals, he spoke with students who were mass communication, business, and political science majors about the importance of focus and diligence as they complete their college education. Recalling and reflecting on his family’s legacy at Central State, (over 15 members of his family are CSU alumni) he reminded the students that “to whom much is given, much is required.” Smith is the host of Biz Talk with Josh, a weekly radio program that features top business leaders.
“Mr. Smith’s visionary gift to the radio station will enable us to remain at the forefront of the cutting-edge technology in digital broadcasting,” said Ed Clay, interim general manager at WCSU.
