We broadcast live from the University Union Building 24/7 and are evolving into the U’s Podcasting Platform. We’re also the place to go for awesome events, fun videos, and entertaining blog writing.
The connection between human nature and pop culture is not new: humans, as a species, have a need to fit in. Fashion trends, music, hair styles, plays, and books have all historically been an integral part of the pop culture which connects humanity. In modern times, pop culture has expanded to include T.V. shows, films, podcasts, role playing games, and card games (only to mention a few). As such, Geekwave strives to make connections between all of you who consider yourselves “Geeks” and the media and hobbies that make you human.
Commitment: 5-10+ hours/week. Varies during the semester based on deadlines, group needs, and assignments.
Scholarship Opportunities: First semester unpaid. Scholarships start to be available in the second semester. Every student is eligible to apply for a scholarship but it will be contingent on overall performance, commitment, enrollment, and fiscal budget.
