Hi friends! I’m Ayden and I’m WRVU’s Station Manager this year, which means I get to work with this lovely executive staff and oversee the general day to day functions of WRVU. I’ve been involved with the station since before my freshman year even started (thank you Media Immersion), and am so excited to serve another year on the board for this awesome organization. If you have any questions about WRVU, want to get more involved, or are in the mood to listen to me ramble about epistemic injustice and music journalism feel free to stop by my office hours!

Howty nerds, I’m Dylan, and WRVU’s programming director. I’m a senior and this is my fourth year with WRVU, time really does be like that huh. I host “cyber insecurity,” which is the first half of the *2 hour special* that I co-host with fellow e-staffer and e-kid Julia. Stop by my show or office hours if you wang, daydream about skateboarding by the ocean while listening to lo-fi indie music, sigh a lot, and discuss whether or not artificial intelligence should replace humans. peace mode.

I’ve absolutely loved taking part in a community of such wonderful and creative people, and it’s definitely been the best part of my Vanderbilt experience. This year, I’ll be serving as the Blog Editor, so reach out to me with any and all ideas for articles. I can usually be found in the station way oversharing and playing a song about once every 10 minutes with my fellow exec member, Dylan.
