Alumni + Giving
We invite you to explore ways to get involved. There are multiple opportunities to make a difference in the lives of students.
Share Your Expertise
We welcome alumni to speak with students and faculty about their work. We want to encourage them to take action in the world around them. If you wish to volunteer to speak to a class or provide a lecture, please contact School Director, Jeffery Loeffert.
Each of you has tremendous knowledge and experience to share with our students. We're always looking for new internships and externships and opportunities for our students.
If you are willing to sponsor an internship, please send specifics to Jeffrey Loeffert who will post the information for our students.
We also are looking for externship sponsors. An externship is a "shadow" program. A student would observe you at work for a few days during a break between semesters. You can sign up through Career Services.
You can also sign up to be a Career Link mentor at http://www.career.vt.edu/. Click on Career Link and sign up to network with current Hokies.
If your organization would be interested in participating in career fairs, please contact Jeffrey Loeffert.
Share Your Wealth
Our students benefit from gifts and support from alumni and friends who invest in expanding opportunities. These include endowed scholarships, a program excellence endowed fund, and an endowed lecture. Gifts are made in two categories: annual or major.
Annual gifts of any size demonstrate your recognition of the value of your degree and your desire to see the program thrive. Please designate your annual gifts to the School of Performing Arts.
If you wish to make a major gift, please contact Julia Allen, our assistant dean for advancement, by emailing her or calling her at 540-231-5607.
