Dear VT Ag Econ Alum,

Virginia Tech’s Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning has selected our department for an innovative “BRIDGE Project” grant to help our undergraduates proactively ‘build bridges’ with industry and governmental career opportunities while they are earning their degrees.

You are a vital link!

Please help us keep track of your careers/lives and the opportunities you have pursued by completing our short survey by Monday, Oct. 30, 2023.

There is an opportunity for you to share internships or other professional development opportunities of which you may be aware and to provide a contact person for such opportunities within your organization, if applicable. Our goal is to integrate career development throughout our undergraduate curricula, and we value learning more about your experiences and insights.

Your updates and candid guidance are appreciated, and we look forward to hearing from you!

As a bonus, we will randomly select five alumni to receive a goodie gift bag from us! Those chosen will be notified.

Sincerely,

Matthew T. Holt, Ph.D.
