Welcome to the Faculty/Staff Community!
Career and Professional Development (CPD) exists to support Virginia Tech students and new graduates. We collaborate with faculty and staff toward our shared goal of supporting students in their process of career exploration and professional development. With that goal in mind, we offer a variety of programs and tools to assist faculty and staff in the career conversations they have with students across campus.
During the summer, we invite faculty & staff to take advantage of our iris photo booth for new or updated professional photos. We have specific blocks of time set aside for both students and F/S. You must register for a designated time to utilize the booth.
F/S appointments are available MWF from 8am-11:45am OR TTh from 1:15pm – 4:45pm.
Requesting Presentations
Presentations could be in-person, via Zoom, or pre-recorded. After you complete the presentation request form, if an advisor is available to accept the request, you and the advisor can discuss the details. Please note that presentation requests will not be accepted for dates between August 24 and September 11.
