Radio-thon: As Virginia Tech gets closer to the end of our Sesquicentennial celebration, Stacks on Stacks play songs about time and celebration from the late 19th century to today. We travel on a musical trip through the decades with songs that have "time" and "celebration" as their themes (and probably in their titles!), playing these tunes in chronological order, and discussing campus history of the eras as we go! Check out WUVT's website here.

Interview: Stacks on Stacks welcomes Dr. Sylvester Johnson, Virginia Tech's Center for Humanities director. In this week's episode, Sylvester fills us in on the 4-week pilot humanities course that he taught to 10 prison inmates at the River North Correctional Center. This pilot course was not only a great success but is just the start of an ongoing initiative to determine how universities and colleges can make way for education in the U.S. carceral system. This pilot was made possible by the hard work of many people and groups, including the Coalition for Justice, the Department of Corrections, the Calhoun Honors Discovery Program, and ITHAKA. Listen to Sylvester's episode here.
