Arthur Craig, the co-founder of Virginia Tech Digging in the Crates (VTDITC) worked with other faculty members to create an intro level class at Virginia Tech, Introduction to Hip Hop Studies, for the Spring 2025 semester. Arthur also won a The Virginia Library Association’s “Academic Innovator Award.”
VTDITC has been around since 2016 and over the last few years, moved into a new room that members worked to form into their own studio. The program works to bring lovers of not just hip-hop, but all music together to collaborate and grow as creatives.
