I recently had a conversation with an admissions rep from New River Community College who told me that many students who have set their sights on graduating from Virginia Tech as engineers, in particular, will relocate to Blacksburg for the sole purpose of attending NRCC for two years and with plans to transfer to Tech. Her comments opened my eyes as to how the CCs serve their communities and what a tremendous opportunity they represent for all types of students.
