    Jodie Davaz Oral History Interviews, May 27, 2014 Title “Student Media in a World of Change” Date May 27, 2014 Location Valley Library, Oregon State University. Summary In her first interview, Davaz provides a brief overview of her background, the birth of her interest in digital culture and the path that she traveled from her upbringing in northern Idaho to her undergraduate education at OSU. From there she lends detailed insight into her work at the campus radio station, KBVR-FM, discussing the progression of her own work as well as the culture of the station, its technical infrastructure, and its forthcoming move to new quarters. Davaz also provides perspective on the local music scene in Corvallis. Another major theme of the session is the decline in interest within the student body for the Beaver Yearbook and Davaz' aspirations for a new publication, Beaver's Digest, that will take its place. The interview concludes with Davaz answering questions about contemporary attitudes on campus, including her thoughts on issues of importance to students of the day as well as student perceptions of Oregon State University.
