Housing Matters Speaker Series by Future Housing Leaders Comes to the Virginia Tech Campus

On November 7^th, 2018 members of Future Housing Leaders visited the Virginia Tech campus to interact with students. In the afternoon, they operated a booth in the Pamplin Atrium where they reviewed resumes and LinkedIn pages for students, and offered a free Panera Bread lunch to those who came up to the booth asking for help. Jodi Brockington, the Owner and CEO of NIARA Consulting, gave students “pro tips on how to showcase your best self.”

In the evening about 50 students attended the guest speaker event, where Stevynn Glass, Real Estate Manager at CBRE, outlined his path into the real estate industry in Bishop-Favrao Room 230.  Future Housing Leaders sponsored Benny Marzano’s Pizza as well as some refreshments.
