President Scott Olson

President Scott Olson guest DJs on Winona State’s own KQAL.

President Scott Olson returned once again to serve as guest DJ for the Winona State University campus radio station KQAL this fall. Olson joins the team at KQAL each semester to host his official program, “Working on a Dream.” The theme for fall semester is “Sustainable Futures,” to coincide with this year’s university theme. Olson’s set list explores this theme and includes a wide range of musical selections, from classics like “Heat Wave” by the Martha and the Vandellas to contemporary hits like “Fortress Around Your Heart,” by Sting. And of course, you’ll hear at least one tune from the president’s favorite, Bruce Springsteen. Check out the playlist and listen to the audio recording below.
