After earning a bachelor’s degree in marketing, Keli returned to her home state of Massachusetts, where Ocean Spray’s headquarters is nestled amid scenic cranberry bogs.

How Owen McCarron found his #HomeAtRider: “I chose to attend Rider University because no other school felt like home faster. As an incoming student, I was really intrigued by the radio station and all its programs and opportunities. In fact, my favorite memory at Rider is probably when I was first selected to be a member of the executive staff at @1077thebronc. It was a wake-up call for me that showed I was capable of bigger things and encouraged me to push my boundaries even further. A very close second is probably Spring Bid Day ’23 – the energy was out of this world!
