#WhyBlackwoodWednesday featuring Nylah Covington ? “Choosing the Blackwood Real Estate Department was an obvious choice for me. Initially, their high ranking in the U.S. drew me in, but it was my experience there that confirmed they were the best program. The unwavering support of the staff and the countless opportunities provided during my time at Virginia Tech have been invaluable. My professors are profoundly knowledgeable and consistently go above and beyond to ensure student success. The department has instilled a strong sense of confidence in my educational pursuits, and I deeply appreciate their continuous dedication to my personal and career growth. I am entering my senior year, and I am so excited to learn everything my last two semesters have to teach me!” We’re so glad Nylah chose to study with Blackwood. We can’t wait to see where you go in life, Nylah! ?? #student #pamplin #realestate #spotlight #studentspotlight #virginiatech #hokies
