VT School of Communication

Last night, students in our Intro to Sports Media course used advanced analytics and in-depth metrics to project this year’s Final Four. Data analytics helped them narrow down who would be left standing. Check out who they projected to make the Final Four below ⬇️

One of my favorite assignments of the year!

Comm Week kicks off next week! Join us for a week full of professional development programming co-hosted by SCOM student organizations and VT’s Career and Professional Development, and gift card raffles sponsored by Virginia Credit Union!

Was blessed to cover the ACC Men's Basketball Tournament this past week for @vthokiesonsi and @3304Sports. Eternally grateful for @commvt for the opportunities I've received as a student journalist. Looking forward to running it back next year.

Spring break looked a little different for our #VTSMA students, who hit the road covering the 2026 Men's and Women's ACC Tournaments. Our students were in the booth doing play-by-play, writing game stories, producing sports packages, taking photos and more.

Had a fantastic time representing @commvt @3304Sports and Virginia Tech at the Men’s and Women’s ACC Basketball Tournaments! Already counting down the days until next year…

That’s a wrap on another ACC Tournament. Huge, huge thank you to @CollegiateTimes and @commvt for supporting students and building a journalism program all of us are beyond proud of. Thanks for following along. Onward.

Huge thanks to @CollegiateTimes and @commvt for the opportunity to cover the 2026 Men’s ACC Tournament over spring break.

Thanks to all of you who tuned into my men’s hoops coverage this year. Was blessed to have the opportunity to do it for @vthokiesonsi and @3304Sports. And a huge thank you to @commvt for the opportunities it has created for student journalists to flourish. #Hokies

Our 2026 group photo: What a special week for our @commvt students who spent their spring break at @theACC tourney. Every game. Every presser. 14 hour days. Late nights editing. Immersed for five days of non-stop hoops coverage. Their passion for story telling and content creation is inspiring and I admire their energy and professionalism. ✍️🎤📸🎥#VTSMA

A big thank you to @MikeCouzens of @ESPNRadio for visiting with our @commvt SMA students before tonight’s ACC semifinals. Mike’s an incredible broadcaster and a big supporter of what we’re doing at VT! Thanks Mike!🎤 #VTSMA

Want to thank Wes, KB, Sherm, Taylor, Liv, and David Teel & Commissioner Phillips for their time participating in our '26 ACC Student Media Seminar. Impactful discussions and intelligent questions from the young journalists during our Q&A sessions.

Congrats to @PedullaSean. First @commvt SMA alum to score in the NBA, Nice goin' pal! (Sean and his HS friend/ AAU teammate Brooks Manzer would always stay late and listen to dad Bryndon on Ok. State Pokes postgame radio shows back in HS, sparking an interest in broadcasting. Post NBA ... Sean will be wearing a headset!)

Join us on March 26 for our second annual Visionary Voices: Speaker Spotlight featuring Dr. Katie R. Place! Dr. Place will share research-driven insights on ethical listening, intersectional listening and leadership in communication. RSVP by Wednesday, March 18!

The games have long since ended and the fans have all gone home. But our @commvt journalists are working late into the night cranking out content at @theACC tourney. We can’t replicate this in any classroom. They’re tired. They’ve been here for 14 hours. But they’re committed to telling great stories!#VTSMA

Excited to host @theACC Student Media event tomorrow am. Legendary writer @ByDavidTeel, ESPN’s @TaylorTannebaum , Doug Sherman, @WesDurham & @kevinnbrown (Orioles), Emmy winning producer @OliviaStomski , + Q&A w/Commissioner Jim Phillips. Super collab @commvt & @NewhouseSU!

This past week I had the opportunity to go down to Duluth, Georgia, to cover the 2026 ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament. I am grateful for both @commvt and @3304Sports who make opportunities like this possible! To those who tuned in, thank you!

Truly a memorable moment for @commvt and #VTSMA four years ago today! Darius Maddox (an SMA major and student in my play-by-play class that spring semester) nails game-winner vs. Clemson. @kdido5, also in the class, nailed the call at Barclay's Ctr.

Really proud of our @3304Sports crew spending the week in Georgia covering @theACC women’s tournament. They’re taking what we cover in @commvt classes and applying it in a real world, real time learning lab. 16 hour days at the arena? They Love it!🏀❤️ #VTSMA
