Virginia Tech
Arts and Activities Advisor
Hi, I'm Divya! I'm a second-year student at Virginia Tech studying Creative Technologies in the School of Visual Arts. Last year, I lived in the Creativity and Innovation District in the Rhizome Living Learning Community. I'm involved in extracurriculars on campus such as WUVT 90.7 FM, the student-run radio station, and DeZine - the Graphic Design community. I'd love to assist you in your college journey and show you all the nooks and crannies I love dearly at Virginia Tech! I enjoy being involved on campus and can help you get to know all of the happenings that campus has to offer.

Describe your college experience
My transition to college and my experience so far has been exciting and rocky. Connecting with people from various backgrounds on campus has been intriguing and meeting like-minded people through my major has been fulfilling.
Tip for future students
An important thing to know when entering college is continue making friends and finding your community beyond the first people you meet or your roommates. There are diverse communities and people that you can meet if you continue putting yourself out there. You make many friends freshman year and it's important to keep the ones that make you feel like you belong.
Favorite class
My favorite class I've taken at Virginia Tech is Introduction to 4D Art and Design with Professor Lesley Duffield. This class pushed me out of my comfort zone to redefine what it means to be an artist and create art. I created digital video using photography to create motion graphics and frame by frame animation.
Career goals
After college, I plan on completing my MFA in Graphic Design.
Ideal way to spend a free night
My ideal way to spend a free night varies from weekend to weekend. I enjoy spending time with my friends whether that be playing board games, karaoke nights, or going down to the Milk Parlor to listen to live music.
