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

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
