You never know where you'll run into another @commvt Hokie!

Kyle Marchak (SMA '25), sports anchor and reporter for 5NEWS, and Nathan Brennan (MJ '20), morning anchor and reporter for KCTV, met up in Oklahoma City this week while covering the 2026 Women’s College World Series!

[Evan Hughes @EvanKHughes]

Awfully proud Braden Schenck, the Voice of the @RidgeYaks and @RailYardDawgs, on being recognized! He continues to elevate @commVT, @3304Sports, @HokieVision and every team he works with.

Way to go, @BradenSchenck!

[Evan Hughes @EvanKHughes]

7th consecutive year that @CommVT has had a student broadcaster recognized in the annual Jim Nantz Award program.

Congrats to @BillRoth2020 and the SMA team!

Life update. I graduated a few weeks ago from @commvt!

But this isn’t goodbye to Blacksburg just yet…

Blessed to announce that I’ve stepped into a full-time role as Coordinator of Social Media & Photography for @HokiesFB!

So excited to keep doing what I love, go hokies🧡

[Bill Roth @BillRoth2020]

Nine of our current @commvt students will be broadcasting summer league and minor league ball games this spring and summer!

Love their commitment and passion to grow! Excited about this group of aspiring PxP announcers.

Graduation is almost here! 🎓

Before they cross the stage tomorrow, our seniors are sharing some of their favorite memories from their time in Blacksburg ⬇️

[Bill Roth @BillRoth2020]

When I visit with HS kids considering attending Virginia Tech, I talk about the culture in our SMA program, and how close you’ll get with your classmates.

And that you’ll “be part of each other’s weddings.”

Tonight, that happened again in Nashville. Congrats Jake and Taitumn!

Did you tune in to @HokiesBaseball 14–1 win over JMU on Tuesday night?

The entire ACC Network broadcast was produced by a fully student-run crew of 19 undergraduate students.

We’re incredibly grateful for opportunities like this that give our students hands-on experience.

Great having Hokie Legend @HodaKotb and her family stop by. Can't wait to have them back this Fall. #LGH

[HokieVision 🦃 🎥 @HokieVision]

Fully student run broadcast for tonight’s baseball game on ACCNX! Really proud of the work our students put into this show and all season long. Join us at 6pm!

[Virginia Tech @virginia_tech]

Thanks for the visit, @HodaKotb! 👋🧡

While on campus, she met with four @VT_LiberalArts classes working with her Joy 101 app to help make it more relevant for college-age audiences, and later participated in a panel discussion with students in the @commvt.

[Virginia Tech Football @HokiesFB]

Pass @hodakotb a headset!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and can’t wait to see you back in the ‘Burg!

Hokie Hi Weekend, from above ⛅️

Our drone journalism class took to the skies to capture it all, from the Run for Remembrance and Caldwell March to a full slate of Virginia Tech Athletics.

Take a look at the weekend recap!

[VT School of Communication @commvt]

It’s National Student Employment Week!

We’re grateful for the student employees who keep the School of Communication running and support their peers every day.👏

Pretty cool opportunity for our @commvt students this afternoon w/@JoshPateCFB.
