It’s all about DC area connections! ✨✨On Tuesday, we welcomed 30+ reps from area small- to mid-sized businesses for a “Tapping into Tech Talent” event as part of Graduate Education Week! The companies represented a wide variety of industries — from information/technology to finance to marketing/advertising, and more!

Participants learned about the Graduate School’s offerings, opportunities to partner with students through project based learning at the Institute for Advanced Computing, and how to work with Virginia Tech’s International Students. A reception provided an informal setting for connecting directly with graduate students.

Thank you to everyone who participated, and to the Virginia Tech Graduate School team for putting together such a great event. 👏👏
