The Center for Business Analytics at Virginia Tech

Last month, we hosted two MSBA-BA alumni happy hours, one in Northern Virginia and one in Blacksburg.

It was great to bring together alumni, current students, faculty, and staff to reconnect, share stories, and continue building the MSBA-BA community beyond the classroom.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made both events such a success!

Join us for our upcoming MSBA networking events this May:

May 12 in Northern Virginia

Over the past months, they’ve been researching best practices, analyzing data, and developing recommendations aimed at improving attach rate performance across industries. We’re excited to see how this team’s work helps drive stronger sales outcomes and customer value!
