Annual Letters to Bradley University Leadership
Eligibility for WCBU’s annual Community Service Grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting requires WCBU's Community Advisory Board to be actively engaged with station management and to occasionally advise and report to the station’s license holder (Bradley University) on WCBU's service. In that spirit, the Board formally communicates an annual update to Bradley administration, and those letters (found below) are made available to the public below.
