Entertaining radio show leads to serious career plans
Elijah Wilhelm came to Roanoke with plans to study Theatre Arts. His plans went out the window after just two sessions hosting a variety show on campus radio.
"I was hooked," said Wilhelm, "having creative freedom, being able to influence people-it was amazing!" Wilhelm credits athletic and station staff mentors for helping him gain valuable experience in the field. Along with co-hosting "The Alternative Hour" on WRKE, Wilhelm is the game announcer for most of the College's athletic events.
Wilhelm is a communications major and American politics minor. "I'm interested in the serious side of broadcasting-when I graduate, I want to be an on-air political analyst."
