Work/Life Resources

Welcome to

VT Work/Life Resources!

Work-Life balance means different things to each of us, but its overreaching goal is a welcoming and supportive community for the diverse group of people who work and study at Virginia Tech. A comfortable balance between work life and personal life allows employees to contribute their best efforts to University academic and diversity goals.
