CNRE Alumni Community,

From the moment you first set foot on campus—and long after graduation—the College of Natural Resources and Environment remains your home. Our alumni are an essential part of CNRE’s story, shaping our community through shared experiences, professional insight, and a deep commitment to the future of natural resources and the environment.

Whether you stay connected through events, mentoring, volunteer leadership, or simply by cheering on the next generation, your engagement matters. These lifelong connections strengthen our college, expand networks across industries and regions, and ensure today’s students benefit from the knowledge and paths forged by those who came before them. I look forward to staying connected and hope to see you at an upcoming CNRE event.

Let’s Go Hokies!
