Jennifer Lopez-Perez
Degree
Why did you choose Virginia Tech?
"I chose Virginia Tech because it was one of the top programs in the country for construction; it had a wonderful campus and because of its vibrant student life."
Why did you choose Building Construction (BC)?
"I chose building construction because of the nature and structure of the curriculum. I have a personal interest in virtual design/construction (VDC) so once I saw that BC had a track related to it, I knew that was the path I wanted to take."
Career Goals
"I plan to come back to building construction to pursue my master's degree. After that, I would like to be a superintendent for a general contractor."
What would you tell students who are interested in joining the Myers-Lawson School of Construction (MLSoC)?
"Reach out to students, alumni, and our advisors! MLSoC is a tight-knit community that is different than those from other majors and there are so many people here to help you. There are many opportunities that the college offers for your development from scholarships to career fairs."
