2026 MARKS 40 YEARS OF WSOU BEING YOUR HOME OF THE LOUDEST ROCK!
On September 4th 1986, WSOU switched formats to "MODERN ACTIVE ROCK" – becoming the first station to play HARD ROCK and HEAVY METAL 24/7
GET READY because we're going to be celebrating our anniversary ALL YEAR 🤘
Loved welcoming “The Machine” Jesse Green to the Ryan School! 💪🐾
His “🪚🍔🎸 Chainsaws, Cheeseburgers & Rock and Roll” message nailed our motto:
Work Hard. Be Kind. Anything is Pawsible… Woof!
Thanks to the Ryan PAC!

Happy birthday to our patroness, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton!🎉 Born on this day in 1774, Mother Seton was a pioneer in Catholic education and a beacon of faith. Her legacy of service and dedication continues to inspire the entire Seton Hall community more than two centuries later.
