Recently, WUVT DJ and Newscaster Mary Peyton Marble was invited to attend a roundtable hosted by Americans for Contraception.
On Wednesday, Oct. 16, Americans for Contraception hosted a breakfast and roundtable event at the Blacksburg Public Library. Roundtable participants discussed the ongoing fight to pass the Right to Contraception Act. Led by Katie Baker, Virginia America for Contraception coordinator, the event outlined the Dobbs decision and its impacts on women’s rights to contraception and body autonomy in the Va. Participants included Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia Jamie Lockheart, Senior Human Sexuality Educators Monique Ingram and Melinda Britt and Virginia Tech Student Eireann Maybach.
EMCVT (the Educational Media Company at Virginia Tech) is having a design competition for a new logo!
If you don’t know, EMCVT is the parent organization for WUVT, Collegiate Times, Silhouette, and Virginia Tech Television. The logo should encompass the artistic and journalistic spirit embodied by all of our organizations!
Design entries are due Thanksgiving Day (11/28), and the managers of each org to vote on after break. The chosen logo will be turned into stickers and possibly other merch! Additionally, the winner will receive a $25 gift card of their choice (grocery store, gas station, or restaurant).
Attached is the current EMCVT logo. It's basically a blue circle with a very long line of text. Your entry can be inspired by the current logo or completely different!
If you have any questions, please reach out to our GM, Kate. All entries are welcome, not just those on WUVT art staff. Please submit designs directly to Kate through Slack or email. Thank you!

Label: Rough Trade Genre: Math Rock / Jazz Pop / Prog Pop Reviewed by: Hayden Swenson For Fans Of: Black Midi, Frank Zappa, Steely Dan The New Sound sees former Black Midi frontman, Geordie Greep, apply his immense musical prowess to an all-new set of influences. This album deftly explores genres such as jazz-rock, prog, and samba with bombastic, theatric flair. The instrumentation here is fantastic! With his one-of-a-kind singing voice and masterful lyricism, Greep vividly depicts narratives and characters that are at once macabre, sinister, and sexual. Track 2 stands out with its Brazillian-inspired composition. It's a shame most of this can't be played during the day!
