Congratulations! You did it! These are challenging times but you have achieved something very special and significant to celebrate and to be proud of. You can be proud of your personal and professional journey that led you to this special day. I wish you all the best, much success and also fun along the way when you continue your journey to the next chapter of your life.   - Dirk Buengel

PQL seniors, I'm really going to miss getting a graduation hug! I wish each of you the very best in your career and in your personal life. Please keep in touch! - Margie Deck 

Congratulations to each of you for this fine achievement! You are well prepared to make your mark on, and even transform, this uncertain future, and you will be missed in the halls of Pamplin.

All the best to you. - Eli Jamison

To All Pamplin Graduates, and especially those I had as freshmen, seniors, or on study abroad… Well Done!!!  You are graduating from a top 10% business school, and that should give you big, yellow warm fuzzy! Remember what to do if you mess up and take a Virginia Tech network with you!!

All my best - Reed Kennedy

Congratulations Class of 2020 you made it! You have crossed the finish line of your undergraduate journey. You and your families should be very proud of everything you have accomplished – I know that I am amazed to see it all. You are now poised to do even greater things in the future. I am excited to see what you do as a Virginia Tech alum. Remember – always be true to your principles, always listen – truly listen, never ever stop learning, be ‘All-in’ in everything that you do, be kind to one another and reflect on each day so that the next one is even better for you and those around you.

Again – CONGRATULATIONS Pamplin graduates. Let’s Go … - Ron Poff
