Hey, I’m Amanda! This is my second year with WRVU, and I am so exited to be a blog co-editor!

I am always looking for an excuse to grab a coffee or go to a concert, and I love to talk about anything and everything music, poetry, and science (and especially all three at once)! Feel free to reach out for any reason, even if you just want to chat!

Hello, I’m Sophie! I am so excited to be one of WRVU’s music directors this year alongside my bestie June! Through DJing last year and blog writing the year before, I met some of the coolest and kindest people Vanderbilt has to offer, and I am so grateful for this opportunity to be even more involved and spend even more time with them and the greater music community! Outside of WRVU, I am involved with the Next Steps Ambassa’dores and the Vandy climbing team! When I’m not hosting my show, “Disco Bawl,” you can probably catch me reading, making coffee, hiking, or talking extensively about any combination of those things. As an avid-concert goer and playlist-maker, my proverbial door is always open to talk music, go to a show, or just be friends!

Media & Communications Director: Adam Alwan
Hometown: Glenview, Illinois
Major/Minors: HOD, Art
Three of My Favorite Artists: Mac Miller, Charli XCX, Hippo Campus
Hi y’all! I’m Adam Alwan, one of WRVU’s Media and Communications Directors. It is my second year as a DJ and my first year on the exec board 🙂 I joined WRVU because my friend had a show and wouldn’t take any of my song suggestions, so I decided to host my show where I also don’t take other people’s suggestions. I love WRVU because it lets me discover some incredible new artists I never would have found, make an amazing weekly playlist, and ramble my nonsense on the radio. So fun. Besides music, I love art, tote bags, and PLANTS. I frequent the Nashville Farmers Market, so let me know if you want to become a plant person, and I’ll help you out. Or if you want to talk about music, I guess we can do that too.
