Emily Wendler
Emily Wendler was KOSU's education reporter from 2015 to 2019.
In graduate school at the University of Montana, Emily Wendler focused on Environmental Science and Natural Resource reporting, with an emphasis on agriculture. About halfway through her Master’s program, a professor introduced her to radio, and she fell in love. She reported for KBGA, the University of Montana’s college radio station and Montana’s PBS Newsbrief. She was a finalist in a national in-depth radio reporting competition for an investigatory piece she produced on campus rape. Wendler also produced in-depth reports on wind energy and local food for Montana Public Radio.
