Three's A Charm

Here are three specific groups/communities that I am interested in to possibly further research:    

1. WUVT 90.7 FM (Virginia Tech student-run radio station) OR Banana Productions (Blacksburg-based short filmmakers)

    Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2008 11:38:22 -0400     From: sykesam@vt.edu Reply-To: sykesam@vt.edu  Subject: Radio journalism opportunity for English majors!       To: "Cathy  Skinner (Linda C)" <lskinner@vt.edu>    Could you please pass this on to other English majors?  My name is Abby Sykes and I am currently an English major.  I am the News Director for the student run radio station here WUVT 90.7 FM.  The News Team I run is responsible for a half hour broadcast on Sundays at 5:30 as well as 5 minute news updates during the week.  This is a great opportunity for other English majors to gain valuable writing experience as well as a one of a kind journalism opportunity.  They will be able to gain valuable air time and immediately have their stories heard.  As a direct result of my involvement I was able to gain an internship with NPR this past summer.  There are also other aspects to the station to get involved with such as being trained to become an FM DJ or help write articles for the Woove the musical magazine we put together.  You can contact me at Sykesam@vt.edu and there is an organizational meeting for the radio station tonight at 7pm in Squires Colonial for all interested. Please come!  Abby Sykes

3. Virginia Tech Sleep Research Team

A very diverse list! Let's talk tomorrow about these. Start thinking about what kinds of questions you already have about these communities, and where your interest stems from.
