Happy Finals Week!

Hello WNJR enthusiasts,

It is currently finals week at good old W&J.  If you happen to see a student, please wish them good luck studying and finishing up the semester, if you see a faculty member, please wish them good luck grading!

The semester is winding down, so most student shows will air for the last time before Winter Break this week.

Please have a lovely Winter Break if you are a member of the college, and no matter who you are, have a wonderful holiday season!

We will hear from you all in 2014!

Jil Aigrot on WNJR



Enjoy the the songs from an album "Words of Love" by french theater actress and singer Jil Aigrot on WNJR 91.7.

Marion Cotillard's OSCAR-winning portrayal of the legendary Edith Piaf in the film "La vie en rose' owes a great deal to the vocal talents of JIL AIGROT. While Cotillard brought Piaf to life with her spot-on performance as  France's grand-dame of song, it is Aigrot's voice that the audience hears. 

This self-produced album "Words of Love" is an homage to the music of France's national diva Edith Piaf.
