What is SASE?
We’re the Virginia Tech chapter of the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers. We want members to leave with more than just another club on their resume — real friendships, useful experience, and a community they can always come back to.
Our three pillars02
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.
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.
Come see what
we’re up to!
From general body meetings and career workshops to socials, company events, and conferences, there’s always something happening with SASE.

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!
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.
