Graduation is approaching quickly, so what better time for us seniors to take a minute and reflect on our years in college? After Class co-producer John Battiston sat down in the Collegiate Times newsroom with three other seniors on our staff: editor-in-chief Jessica Brady (@TheJessicaBrady), news editor Mike Liu (@Zelia_Liu), and assistant opinions editor Justin Redman (@Young_JRed). We discussed what we’re most proud of during our time as students, some of our regrets, and the advice we would give to incoming Hokies.

NEWS: Virginia Tech Master Plan by The Collegiate Times

In October, two of our opinions columnists, Sally Dukes and Thomas Thorgerson, each wrote an article as part of a Caught in the Crossfire special on transgender identity. Dukes believes that the acceptance of transgender identities is important to the support of gender-questioning youth; Thorgerson says that to accept transgender identities ignores science, and furthers a harmful agenda of political correctness. Recently, they met up to discuss their differences. They touched upon the role of hormone treatment, suicide among trans youths, and other important factors in the discussion surrounding transgender identity.

In January 2016, Natalie Keepers was arrested and charged with one felony count of improper disposal of a dead body and one misdemeanor count of accessory after the fact. This came just one day after David Eisenhauer was arrested in connection with the disappearance of 13-year-old Blacksburg local Nicole Lovell. In September of 2018, nearly three years after the initial arrests, Keepers underwent a four-day long trial in the Montgomery county courthouse. Our social media editor Meg Connors and our news editor Mike Liu recently sat down to recount the trial.
