-: I'd say just especially in the College of Agriculture
the networking.
I still probably come interact with a lot of the people
I went to college with.
A lot of the professors I still keep up with.
We exchange Christmas cards.
It's just that networking
and way back then we didn't have Facebook
and we still networked.
And you came in for statewide meetings and talked and stuff.
That networking within the industry is just invaluable.
It helps so much.
Now I know that the bigger the school gets
and the more diversified and everything maybe that's not.
But I encourage people, take the time to get to know people.
Write thank you notes or just because you met with them
today don't think that that relationships over with
and I think Virginia Tech taught me that.
It's an incredible environment for school spirit
and teamwork and just that whole working together
and the motto that "I may serve" is really important
And I think some many of the students,
I know that's been a motto of mine throughout my career.
