Career and Professional Development (CPD) liaisons to Virginia Tech colleges and offices
For university faculty and staff: Career and Professional Development (CPD) staff serve as liaisons for communication and service coordination to colleges, academic areas, and offices that serve students. Virginia Tech faculty and staff are welcome to reach out to liaisons.
Students seeking advising: The liaisons are not the only staff members who provide advising. We have many advisors who offer appointments with students. One staff member would not have sufficient schedule availability to advise all students in one college. Please note that the volume of advising appointments we offer cannot logistically be scheduled by email; to speak with an advisor, see schedule an advising appointment.
