Virginia Tech Designs Graduate Programs for Working Professionals

By PoP Sponsor (a)

Virginia Tech’s forthcoming Innovation Campus continues to develop as the university works to deliver 750 master’s degree graduates annually by the end of the decade.

While the new campus will help cement the university’s regional footprint, Virginia Tech has been quietly providing graduate education opportunities in the greater Washington, D.C., metro area since 1969.

Virginia Tech’s Pamplin College of Business has offered its MBA programs in this region for decades and more recently made the decision to narrow its focus to working professionals in urban centers across the commonwealth.

“What we did at Virginia Tech a few years ago was to say that we really want to focus on the working professional — someone who wants to enhance their career or make a change in the direction of their career, but not at the expense of continuing to be a business professional,” says Pamplin Dean Robert Sumichrast. That allows those students to come into the classroom, he adds, “and use what they’ve learned as part of the experience of the MBA program.”

National Cathedral Screens ‘Glory,’ ‘Harriet’ with Panel Discussions on Race and Justice

By PoP Sponsor (a)

The historic Washington National Cathedral is hosting a three-event interactive film series intended to further the Cathedral’s missional priorities of racial reconciliation and justice on February 28-29 at the Cathedral.

Taking its name from a quotation by Dr. Martin Luther King, the “Long, Long Way Film Weekend” includes the screening of two landmark films made 30 years apart that explore race and bravery in the face of prejudice. The films are followed by informed panel discussions by academics, theologians and filmmakers, including NPR newscaster Korva Coleman as moderator at both sessions.

  • The Oscar-winning 1989 film Glory, starring Denzel Washington, follows the black soldiers of the Massachusetts 54th Regiment as they fight in the Civil War. The movie screens at 7 p.m. on Friday, February 28. Tickets for the screening of Glory can be acquired here.
  • Saturday, February 29’s film is 2019’s Harriet, featuring an Oscar-nominated performance by Cynthia Erivo. It depicts the heroic missions of Harriet Tubman as she risked her life leading escaped slaves to freedom by means of the Underground Railroad. Tickets for the screening of Harriet can be found here. Harriet begins at 6 p.m.

Admission for either film is $15, $10 for military and students.

An afternoon workshop featuring roundtable discussions moderated by Cathedral Director of Programs Michelle Dibblee takes place Saturday, February 29. For information call 202-537-6200 or [email protected].

By PoP Sponsor (a)

Buying your first home is, for most of us, the biggest investment you’ll ever make.

But in this competitive seller’s market, how do you protect yourself while still giving yourself the best chance to get the seller to take your offer? Let’s look at the different types of home inspections to consider as you decide what’s the best for you.
