VT People Search Affiliations

The VT People Search uses affiliations to describe your association with Virginia Tech. You may have several relationships with Virginia Tech, and therefore, many affiliations. For example, many employees take a course, many enrolled students have an on-campus job, and many graduate students are alumni from their undergraduate days.

You can check your affiliations through My VT. For more information, see Viewing your Virginia Tech Affiliations (http://answers.vt.edu/kb/entry//).
