Some students had a chance to see themselves on-screen as they acted out being a weather forecaster.

GLBEC students are fully immersed into college learning, earning all of their high school and college credits at Delta College and SVSU. On-campus tours give students a chance to see what different fields have to offer before they start their college careers.

“I’m happy to host early college classes and introduce them to careers in broadcasting,” said Wells, “and show all we do here at Delta College Public Media.”
