Congratulations 🎉👏🎉Dr. Hayes on earning a Ph.D. @VTSoc and the @UrbComp certificate!
The Urban Computing program, offered through @SanghaniCtrVT is open to grad students in all fields of study.
🎉 to Whitney Hayes, happy to be back on Blacksburg campus for Spring Commencement. Last Fall she earned a Ph.D. @VtSoc and grad certificate from @UrbComp program offered through @SanghaniCtrVT. Her co-advisors were Ashley Reichelmann (left in photo) & @profnaren. #HokieGrad

Congrats to @AlexandriaVAGov -- home to new Innovation Campus @VTmetroDC -- for achieving @BloombergDotOrg @WhatWorksCities certification. Learning to use data to meet/solve city challenges is the primary goal of @UrbComp graduate certificate program, administered @SanghaniCtrVT.
When cities use data, they can better solve challenges and meet opportunities facing their communities.
With @Results4America, we’re glad to recognize 12 new cities from across the Americas for achieving the @WhatWorksCities Certifications for their exceptional use of data to inform policy decisions, strengthen local government operations, and improve resident outcomes: bloombg.org/4b9fScs

It is defense season! Congrats to @UrbComp fellow Whitney Hayes @Hashtag_Whitney on a successful PhD defense! It was a 1st for me as Whitney's is the 1st committee @VtSoc @VT_LiberalArts I co-chaired, w/ Ashley Reichelmann (co-chair) & James Hawdon, David Brunsma (members).
ALT Whitney Hayes successful PhD defense w/ her committee.
Several years ago Ph.D. students in the @UrbComp program began research to help schools with redistricting. It is still going strong!
Exploring the best way of automatically generating school redistricting plans is ongoing @SanghaniCtrVT & has already benefitted schools like @LCPSOfficial. Ph.D. student Fanglan Chen was interviewed after a presentation at EAAI 2023. Learn more: tinyurl.com/4vzzk47e

ALT A welcome message from President Tim Sands "Welcome to our spring semester and a new year! The end of last year brought the final events of our wonderful 18-month sesquicentennial celebration, including the installation of a time capsule in a stone vault on the east side of Burruss Hall, to be opened on our 200th anniversary in 2072. What kind of university will we be in 50 years, and what can we do in 2023 to support the best possible future for Virginia Tech and the commonwealth?" -Virginia Tech President Tim Sands
