What is SASE?

SASE is where we come to meet people, grow professionally, celebrate our culture, and make Virginia Tech feel a little smaller. We want members to leave with more than just another club on their resume. We want them to leave with real friendships, useful experience, and a community they can always come back to.

01 / Professional Growth

Get ready for
what’s next.

From resume reviews and mock interviews to company info sessions, we create opportunities for members to learn, practice, and feel more confident going into recruiting.

02 / Community

Find your people.

Some of the best parts of SASE happen outside the workshops and meetings. It’s the people you meet, the conversations after events, and having a group on campus that you actually look forward to seeing.

Grow together.go further!

SASE is built around helping our members grow professionally, stay connected to their culture, and give back to the communities around them.

01

Professional Development

Workshops, company events, mentorship, and plenty of chances to build the skills that actually matter when it comes time to apply for internships and jobs.

02

Cultural Awareness

We celebrate the cultures and experiences that bring our community together through events, conversations, food, traditions, and just spending time with one another.

03

Community Service

We make time to give back too, whether that means supporting the Blacksburg community, helping younger students, or creating opportunities for the people coming after us.

SASE Southeast

Being part of SASE connects us with chapters all across the Southeast! Through conferences, leadership events, and collaborations, our members get to meet students from other schools and be part of a community that goes way beyond Virginia Tech.

Opportunities beyond
our chapter!

A big part of SASE is helping members connect with people and opportunities they might not find on their own. That includes students at other universities, SASE alumni, and professionals from companies across STEM.

Those connections are possible because of the organizations that continue to support our chapter.

Our sponsors help make our workshops, events, and professional opportunities possible. They also give members the chance to connect directly with engineers, recruiters, and professionals throughout the year.
