Student Ambassadors
The CEE Department has several dedicated juniors and seniors that assist the department with recruiting events such as the College of Engineering Open House, Admissions weekends and individual campus visits by prospective students. They also attend events such as the Alumni Board meetings throughout the year as representatives of the department. These ambassadors play a vital role in the promotion of the CEE department at Virginia Tech. They also assist in creating promotional materials for overall department outreach and alumni events.
