Donna Permell
To be at the helm of WCLK as we cross this momentous milestone is rewarding, humbling and gratifying all at the same time. Turning 50 as a nonprofit and as a Jazz radio station is no small feat. It's an all-encompassing moment in time that we all can share. And one that we all can be proud of from our licensee Clark Atlanta University, founders, current staff and WCLK alum to our WCLK Advisory Board, members, listeners, students, Jazz musicians and friends. This Is Us at 50! Come along and share this amazing year of events and activities as we celebrate together.
