Building community in
the workplace
When Hokies unite at work
We believe that Virginia Tech leaves an indelible mark. When alumni encounter one another in the working world, there’s an instant kinship and a dynamic rapport that’s unlike anything else. Great things happen when Hokies come together.
In the fast-paced world of work, it’s easy to prioritize tasks over relationships. But taking the time to build connections is the foundation of a thriving workplace. Join the amazing community created by our alumni corporate networks and take advantage of unique opportunities for mentorship, fellowship, and networking in the workplace.

-Magda Ruesch, Principal Project Manager, Capital One
“Serving as the Virginia Tech Corporate Chapter Chair at Capital One has afforded me the opportunity to network and engage with other Hokies at Work that I may have otherwise not met. It is an incredibly rewarding role that has given me the chance to plan and participate in events both on an educational and social networking level. I’ve met some wonderful partners at Virginia Tech as well! I see this role as a way of fulfilling both Virginia Tech’s Ut Prosim motto as well as ‘Living the Values’ at Capital One.”
Alumni make an impact when they choose to give back
And what easier way to make a difference than through workplace giving!
There’s a reason Hokie alums have a lifelong relationship with their alma mater. This place isn’t just a stepping stone. Or a memory. Or a line on a resume. Virginia Tech is home. Giving back to the place that made it all possible is easier than ever when you leverage workplace giving. Chances are, your company has a giving platform. In many cases, they will match your gift (doubling your impact). Some will also bolster your volunteer hours to a nonprofit by matching your service with a donation. Find out if your company has a matching gift or volunteer grant program!
