Meet The Team

the exec board.

As the governing body of WIIT 88.9FM, the executive board plays a critical role in ensuring the success of the college radio station. They provide strategic direction and oversee the station’s operations, including budgeting, planning, programming, and marketing.

The board works collaboratively with the station’s staff, volunteers, and campus community to maintain a high level of professionalism, creativity, and engagement. Ultimately, the board’s objective should be to uphold WIIT’s mission of providing a platform for independent voices and alternative music while serving as a valuable resource for the campus and the community.

Raised on Tumblr-era music, Cole is constantly on the lookout for new sounds, collecting new vinyl, and taking every chance he can get to attend a concert. Although Cole won’t admit it, he is a Pitchfork snob, so don’t be surprised if you catch him lurking in the depths of the insufferable online music community. Cole is still haunted by Daft Punk’s breakup, but is still eagerly awaiting the release of RAM Drumless Edition. Responsible for general oversight.

Assistant Station Manager

Tamar Agam

Although she didn’t have the most linear musical journey, Tamar (dream analyzer and bagel snob) likes to think of her music taste as “really sick” and “the best ever, actually”. Hand her aux and you’re probably going to hear a rock off-shoot that she could talk about in excruciating detail. Whether it’s punk or prog, she’s got an affinity for poetry and weird noises in music— you’ll never know whether she’s gonna play something that’ll give you an existential crisis, or just straight up freak you out.

Rana also has a notable interest in drawing fanart for some franchises such as Genshin impact. Please pretend it’s not a red flag. Some of her favorite franchises include Portal, The Witcher 3, Resident Evil, Limbus Company and more. A lot of Rana’s tastes in music lie in Jpop and japanese indie music, notably, Vocaloid –although you will rarely hear her say it out loud unless you have also outed yourself as a Vocaloid fan. If you need someone to geek out over Vocaloid or niche RPGmaker horror game lore with, Rana is your person!
