didn’t even know where Virginia Tech was before I started applying for colleges 2 years ago. I just knew this school was for me. It felt like a place where I could dream big. Getting a postcard from a senior Hokie before coming to Virginia Tech made it all the more incredible. Two years later‚ I will write these postcards for our new accepted Hokies myself. I also have done community service related activities every semester‚ from Women’s Resource Center to being a note taker for Services for Students

Most people that
