KNWD has organized a number of campus and local events over the years. Notably, on Halloween 1982, the station coordinated the move of the campus ghost, Isabella, from the burned ruins of Caldwell Hall to the oldest building on campus, the Old Women's Gymnasium (now Lee H. Nelson Hall and home to the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training). The event involved more than 750 people, a marching band, and a mounted honor guard.
