This event showcases all 1400 student organizations on campus.

Participation in other activities designed by the station to develop employment opportunities in broadcasting.
On an on-going basis, the WILL Stations work with teachers at University Laboratory High School in Urbana, Illinois to develop an oral history curriculum to train students in the basics of audio production and journalism. Each year, the students produce a documentary that is broadcasts on WILL Radio and WILL online. There are two current works-in-progress, however the titles have-not-been finalized, but one topic is Diversity and Inclusion and the other is Immigration. Their radio documentaries will broadcast late fall 2018 or early spring 2019.
Several students have chosen to major in journalism at the college level as a result of this experience.
