Through support from the All-Star Gaming Association at the All-Star Gaming Centre, CJAM 99.1 FM has been able to make some major upgrades to our live-on-air studio! With this funding, we have been able to purchase a new board. Our volunteers and staff can now use industry standard broadcasting equipment every single day and with this advancement, we will be able to host four microphones, where previously we only had access to three, increasing the amount of voices on air. The equipment also has the ability to connect to laptops and tablets, a function that was not previously available with our 20+ year old equipment.

Staying up-to-date and relevant in the quickly changing world of technology has been a struggle for campus/community radio stations across Canada. The staff and volunteers at CJAM 99.1 FM couldn’t be more excited to use our new equipment knowing we will be broadcasting at an expert level for years to come! We’ll be making the switch on May 28th & May 29th so please bear with us as we go through some changes.
Kojak the Dog & the CJAM FM team thank you for your continued support <3
Stress is our bodies response to external pressures (National
Institute of Mental Health, n.d). The thing causing the response is called a
stressor and it can be a one-time occurrence, or it can happen repeatedly
overtime (National Institute of Mental Health, n.d). We are familiar with the
bad stress in our life called distress, but it is important to remember that
there is a good type of stress called eustress that helps motivate you, focuses
your energy, and enhances performance in daily activities (Russell and Lightman.,
2019). Being able to distinguish between the good stress and the bad stress is
crucial in creating a healthy stress balance in life!
What are University or College Student’s
Most Stressed About?
Some top stressors for post-secondary students are
(University of St. Andrews, 2006):
Studying and exams
Deadlines
Financial situations and part
time/full time jobs
Organization and time management
Procrastinating schoolwork and assignments
Poor housing and overcrowding
Getting used to a new environment or
new country (for international students)
Personal relationships
What Can Student’s Do to Reduce Their
Stress Levels?
There are many ways you can reduce or manage stress in your
everyday life. Getting enough sleep will help reduce stress and manage your
mood (Broderick, 2021). Health eating and exercise have also proven to be great
ways to help manage distress and an exercise routine also helps with having
better sleep, which in turn also helps with reducing stress (Broderick, 2021).
Setting realistic goals for yourself is really important as well, you do not
want to overwork yourself and set standards that you are not able to meet
(Broderick, 2021). Lastly, find something you love to do as a stress outlet
when the time comes where you just need to take a break (Broderick, 2021). This
can include reading, going on a walk, hanging out with friends, or even just
surfing the internet. Make sure you give your mind and body the breaks that it
needs!
