It is a fun and educational Fingerprint Friday! 🕵️‍♂️🖐️ It's a great hands-on way for Criminal Justice students to learn essential forensic techniques. Practicing fingerprinting helps them understand the importance of detail, precision, and proper procedure—skills they’ll definitely need in the field.#WeAreNCCC

These RECORDS are made to be broken!

Yesterday, (8-13-25) WKPW set a record for total audience streaming. In the past our top number was just over 100. We recorded 199 yesterday! Most people listen to WKPW on their smartphones, and yesterday we had listeners in Germany, India, and Mexico. This is not unusual, we also have tracked listeners in the UK, Italy, Brazil, and Australia.

We have students on-the-air from 7am - 9pm every weekday with a mixture of "live" and "voice tracking". The response has been amazing. I believe people are listening to support the program.

Today, Veterinary Science students received instruction on the correct procedures for donning and using personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure safety and hygiene in clinical settings. #WeAreNCCC
