Virginia Tech Pamplin International Programs

Yea!

Congratulations to Kat Colaianni, who is graduating today with a degree in Marketing! Kat rounded out her Virginia Tech studies with two study-abroad programs: Faculty-Led Business in Lugano and Business and Culture in Italy! She's globetrotting again this summer before starting law school in the fall. Kat served as a GEO Peer Advisor and helped many other Hokies find the ideal study abroad program for their chosen goals. We will miss you Kat! Onward and upward!
