MSCC “Flips the Switch” for Relaunch of Historic KWEM Radio

KWEM Radio, an historic West Memphis radio station that influenced the course of modern music, will return to the airwaves on Thursday, May 29, as a streaming Internet station at www.kwemradio.com

Athletic Program – Another MSCC Success Story

We get accused on occasion of being more concerned about doing cool things than stopping long enough to explain how cool some of those things really are. We are probably even a little guilty of that, especially when so many great things are happening on our campus. But you don’t have to spend much time on this blog site to know that our fledgling athletic program has come a long way in very short period of time.

To put it in perspective, at this time four years ago, the dream of an intercollegiate sports program on our campus was just a dream. Now we are the defending men’s and women’s Region 2 champions, and several of our players are moving to the next level at four-year institutions where somebody else will pay for them to be there. That is exactly what we intended to see happen. Our goal has always been to put deserving student-athletes in a program that improves their academic and athletic skills, give them the opportunity to become mature and well-rounded on and off the court, and allow them to capitalize on their athletic skills to advance their education.
