By creating these programs, students have the opportunity to develop creativity, social and communication skills which will help them in the future.
In 2007 a group of students from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Recinto Universitario de Mayaguez (RUM) Chapter, took on the task to take a project from their organization that consisted of only one radio program and transformed it into a project that not only was for their benefit, but to whole student community.
Radio Colegial has reached practically all the regions from the world and over passing the 7,000 listeners, basically doubling the audience with each year.
As part of the programming in the athletics area, Radio Colegial broadcast the volleyball and basketball games held in the campus, most of the times serving as the only communication media to transmit the games, even when the Feminine Varsity Basketball Championship won the gold in 2009.
In the coverage of other activities Radio Colegial has distinguished itself in important events of the University such as the lightning of Christmas Night, The Agricultural Fair-Five Days with Our Earth, among others.
