VT helps prepare you for that next step after college
By Tyler Murphy
2009 Graduate
2009 Admissions Advisor
With Virginia Tech being one of the few universities that has a free standing career services building, the amount of options and opportunities the service allows are endless. I used career services to help tailor my resume so it would be presentable in not only applying to grad school, but also for the professional world as well.
An individual from career services sat down with me to discuss and go over what I should keep or get rid of to make my resume look more professional. After multiple visits to the center, I learned of an array of other services they provide. Offering everything from mock interviews to
career fairs, the career service center has everything you will need to prepare for that next step after college.

Transferring into CLAHS, a recent graduate's story
By Tyler Murphy
2009 Graduate
2009 Admissions Advisor
Transferring into the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences was a smooth transition, just like transferring to Virginia Tech was overall. I was given one of the coolest advisors to work with me throughout my time at VT that helped me plan my course load up through my last semester before graduation.
Since I did not declare a communications major until transferring to the university I still needed some freshman level classes. After having to jump through a few small hoops, I was admitted into those classes. In order to graduate in the time I wanted to, I did have to take a few summer classes to get on track. But as many people will tell you, there is nothing like summers in Blacksburg!
Working alongside some of the most educated people in their fields, the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences has some of the nicest professors I ever had and in turn allowed me to form relationships and contacts for networking in the future.

Erika's Story: College of Liberal Arts & Human Sciences
By Erika, a junior in the College of Liberal Arts & Human Sciences
Major: sociology
Minor: psychology
I am a sociology major with a concentration in inequality, and also a minor in psychology. Sociology is a wonderful field to study because it allows one to get a greater experience of diversity; this is also a huge part of what the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences does. The faculty and staff within the college and department do a wonderful job at getting this experience across. I have enjoyed every sociology class I have had, especially Dr. Ellington Graves as I think he is an amazing professor.
The faculty are a huge part of the department but we would be nowhere without the hard working staff that keeps everything running smoothly. The academic advisors do an outstanding job of keeping the students and faculty on track. I also have had the opportunity of getting close with a lot of these individuals because I am the president of SAV, the Sociological Association at Virginia Tech. SAV is just one of the many opportunities students have to gain outside knowledge and networks through the sociology department.
