There will be other games and prizes throughout the night if you want to just come and hang out and watch your friends compete.

This event has been brought to you by your student radio station, WSOE, 89.3FM The ONLY Alternative.

I am doing them on Tuesday, October 30th. The focus groups will be
small and casual, lasting a little over an hour, and consisting of
about 10 people. You and the other group members will be asked to
openly talk about WSOE: your impressions of it, whether or not you
listen, what you do and don’t like, suggestions, etc.

In return for participating, there will be free pizza (good Dominos
kind) and drinks during the sessions.
The times for the focus groups are as follows:
Tuesday, October 30th in McEwen 207:
4:30pm – 5:30pm
5:45pm – 6:45pm
7:00pm – 8:00pm

If you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible and let me
know any times that you’re available to come. If you can come to all of
them, let me know so I can make sure everyone gets scheduled at the
best time possible. If you have friends you’d like to bring, please
have them contact me as well.

Again, this focus group will be very open and casual. Everything and
anything that you have to say is very important for our station, and
we’re eager to hear it.
If you think of anyone else who might want to do this, either tell me
or go ahead and pass it along.

Thanks so much,
Nikki Wasikowski
