to choose a career that is specific to the natural
skills and talents each possesses,” said Deb Berry,
President of KBBG-FM radio.
KBBG will support the digital interactive media
and marketing pathways available for students at the
WCC, housed in Central Middle School. Currently
nine career programs are offered to high school
students, with five more being added this fall. Over
one-thousand students have signed up for WCC

“KBBG is an icon in our community, so we
were especially excited to sign them as a sponsor
for the Waterloo Career Center. They have created
an in-house studio for students to try out and get
comfortable with being on the radio. They know our
future rests with our children and they demonstrate
it every day. I’m confident we will have many
opportunities to partner with them for the good of
the kids,” said Dr. Jane Lindaman, Waterloo Schools
