Very busy week for us around @UVAEngineers & @TheConnect_UVA! From alumni panels for Black History Month, Galas w/ Engineering Student Council, Dinner with @NSBE and @SHPE in the historic Rotunda, and lunch with VP Nicole Hall & @UVADeanJWest! Good times before Spring Recess 🎉.

It’s always a great time catching up with former students and reconnecting over memories and the ties that keep our community strong. Go Hoos!

Everywhere you go there’s a Brother (even if it is at VTech) 🤙🏾😃
