Get Connected

Each fall, 4Help hires a temporary staff of approximately 50 students who are technically experienced with computer software configurations, the Virginia Tech Ethernet network, and the Internet to work as a part of the Get Connected staff. Get Connected teams are available in the residence halls throughout the move-in period to provide technical support to students who request assistance in getting the university's Internet software, VTnet, installed on their systems and to get their computers connected to the Virginia Tech network. Get Connected staff members work most intensely during the move-in period before classes begin. They will also be available through the first week of classes in the evenings at a central on-campus location during Phase II of Get Connected. To request assistance, call (540) 231-HELP (4357).
