Residence Life at Virginia Tech is preparing to make significant strides in the
role we play in the academic success and personal connection of students who
live in our residence halls to the greater university community. Our
professional staff will foster an atmosphere of holistic and integrated
learning, and strive to create an environment where each student is encouraged
to recognize and utilize the connections they have to fellow Hokies; faculty and
students alike.

In order for Residence Life to accomplish these central goals, we seek talented

each student's residential and learning experience. Successful candidates will
