Thank a Teacher

What is the Thank a Teacher program?

Virginia Tech's "Thank a Teacher" program allows students and alumnae to express their appreciation for teaching excellence at Virginia Tech. If a teacher (e.g., professor, instructor, or graduate teaching assistant) has made a positive contribution to your educational experience, consider sending them a thank you note. We make it easy and quick for you and they will appreciate knowing their efforts are valued.
