On February 21, 2023, the Virginia Tech Athletic Department initiated some interesting changes. The Creative Communications Office and under Director Carter Brown the doors began to open a bit wider (much wider, actually) for the Virginia Tech independent press corps (aka, those of us who are dedicated by our publications to cover Virginia Tech athletics). It isn’t just the name change on the door and the new staff, it is also a renewed dedication to helping the media people “get the word out” (in our case, images as well).
So, on Tuesday, Travis Wells, the new Assistant for Strategic Communications Director in charge of football offered two very exciting new opportunities for those of us covering the Hokies, mainly football for this event, but we are hoping that the move spreads.
