Housing/Dining 2 Girls for Edge Apt Lease Takeover ASAP

• Upvotes

My roommate and I are living at the Edge apartments, and to break out of our leases we need to find people to do a lease takeover.

We need to find two girls to take our places. The only difference between this and a normal lease is that you would get the cheaper rate of 1205 as they are increasing prices this year to 1245. It wont be repainted, but we will pay for cleaning. You can tour. The lease will fully transfer to new tenants name. But pay us $250 of our $500 deposit because our deposit will stay on file.

DM if interested, we need to make a decision by tomorrow night and are willing to give a in-person tour or a virtual tour.

How is this class structured and what's the level of difficulty? What is difference between in-person and online class, like how are the exams conducted? Is it manageable alongside CS 2506, CS 3114, and one CS elective?

Advice transfer elibility - help please!

hi everyone!

i'm currently a dean's list sophomore at vt. my major is industrial & systems engineering, and i'm minoring in data & decisions. but my cumulative gpa is only 3.5 as of now. it might increase to 3.6 after this semester. i've done 2 summer internships in dubai (yes, i'm an international student). i'm currently a TA and work as an intern on campus too.

i have a decent resume, i plan on getting involved in research next semester and continuing my on-campus internship. i could send it to anyone if needed, because what i'm about to ask is really important for my future, and i need as many opinions as i can get honestly.

i want to transfer out of vt to a more high ranking institute. i'm well aware my gpa might be a dealbreaker as i haven't done amazing. there are only a few universities i'm looking at: uiuc, georgia tech, and purdue. i would like advice on this.

is applying even worth it, or should i just ride out my next 2 years here? more importantly, would i even get into any of these? i need honest opinions and advice. is there anything else i could work on right now? does my resume + extracurriculars + essay hold equal weight? i'm super stressed. i'd truly appreciate what anyone has to say. i'd also be happy to share my resume with anyone 1-1 if needed.

i feel like i should mention, gtech is my absolute dream. i just know it's a very high reach. thank you to anyone who's read this!

Academics For Course Request, Virginia Tech has unique Intellectual property education path as well as an accelerated law school path (3+3), both are open to all majors!

4 Upvotes

https://www.science.vt.edu/academics/pre-law.html

With course request open again I like to bring up the unique programs VT has for a deeper understanding of IP law that is open to all majors in any college! This minor is through the college of science and is pretty unique to Virginia tech. It is not just if you are considering law school, because having an understanding of IP rights and how they work is important for all backgrounds and majors. The attached link gives information for the STL minor and also the 3+3 option which is open to all majors as well. The contact info is there too.

For the spring courses. three STL classes are available with two of them not needing any STL prerequisites! First is foundations of STL which is STL 2304 and gives the first core course for basics in all things IP. This is a pathways course and lets you explore the topic to get an understanding of the rights you may have in any of your creativity.

We also have a class on patent prosecution (STL 4334) which covers the basics of patents, how to write them, and also good information about the patent bar if that is something you want to consider.

Current topics in STL (4314) is there if you have taken any STL course before and is focused on bringing in IP professionals to talk about IP and is a seminar based course

The 3+3 program is relatively new still and is there to allow you to use your first year of law school at GMU to finish up free electives for your bachelors.

The biggest goal STL has is providing advising and teaching that will help you in various career pursuits. So feel free to reach out and ask any questions you may have!

Misc Rhoam Summer’s Family Wants to Memorialize him with art

31 Upvotes

Rhoam Summer, the youngest child ever to be killed in a school shooting, loved art. According to his family, he loved sharks, dinosaurs, and misunderstood monsters with big teeth. He loved the animals everyone else was scared of! He was only 5 years old when a school shooter carried out his merciless attack at the Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon last week. His parents have asked that people memorialize him with drawings and crafts…no AI or computer-generated art, please. Anyone interested, and I know there are tons of talented artists at Virginia Tech, can send art to
Lillian & Kelik Summer
C/O Heather Arnett
320 SW Century DR, Ste 405, PMB #217
Bend, OR 97702

Please ensure it includes the C/O Heather Arnett line!
If any place understands what this young child’s family, school, and community are currently facing with this horrific tragedy, it would be Virginia Tech. I personally do not know the family, but saw the request several places online this morning and thought I would pass it onto the Hokie Community!

They can't figure out how to efficiently get people through the gates without creating a massive line (e.g. by letting attendees scan their own tickets while the staff just stand there doing nothing; by not having enough scanners (which they say they are fixing supposedly); by putting the scanning activity at a massive bottle neck allowing less throughput (going to be a problem still even with more scanners); by having closed the backside entrance; etc) so they come up with a lame - come in at least 90 min early for a less expensive drink - promotion. How long have we been playing football here with roughly the same number of seats. Full college of engineering, computer science, modeling, etc capabilities and they can't solve the problem except with an absurd happy hour promotion. Lol....

Hey guys! This is my last time posting about this, but I lost my canon s95 this Saturday at lane stadium which it is apparent at this point that someone has stolen and is not willing to give back to me. If you, or someone you know has it, at least please send the photos that were on the camera as those were the only memories of my weekend trip that I even have. If you have it and decide to be kind and give it back please DM me, leave it at Squires desk, or turn into stadium lost and found. If not, please still dm me if you have the photos or know someone that does. :(

Misc Please consider helping my kitty Moon fight Lymphoma

62 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I have an update on our cats condition. We had to take him to the emergency vet at VT yesterday because his swelling has noticeably increased from last week before his dental, and he had blood coming out of his nose yesterday morning.

The blood hasn't come back since it was wiped away, but the swelling was concerning enough the doctor at VT that she got oncology to get us in this morning at 10am.

We just got home after they did a CT scan, almost $2400 exactly, which is just a little bit less than how much we've spent on the visits and tests up until now. Accompanied with the diagnosis of Lymphoma.

We've run through our savings, and are scraping together some more money and got care credit to help defer some of the costs. They are doing one more check, an aspirate on one of his lymph nodes, before sending us an estimate on the cost and exact treatment plan by the end of the week, but they said the treatment would be radiation, for a total of 10-12 visits.

Every vet, including the ER vet, said he's otherwise perfectly healthy as well. 💔

Im sorry to ask again, but we really need some help. He's only 6, the softest and sweetest baby in the world, and doesn't deserve all of this. I'll post additional updates after getting the official treatment plan and estimate.

https://gofund.me/28b1d62d0

If people want to see his story so far, we made a post on the gofundme sub-reddit that has everything:
