Hokie One Stop supports Virginia Tech students, faculty, and staff in D.C. area
From the Cook Counseling Center to the University Registrar, the Virginia Tech Hokie One Stop is bringing academic and support services to a centralized location in the greater Washington, D.C., area.
“We want to make it easier for our community to access support and resources as they progress through their degrees at Virginia Tech,” said Bryan Mitchell ’14, the director of Student Services, Hokie One Stop.
While the One Stop has a temporary presence on the fourth floor of the Virginia Tech Northern Virginia Center in Falls Church, it will open a permanent space in the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus’ first academic building when it opens in January 2025.
“Virginia Tech serves approximately 2,000 graduate students in the D.C. area, including online students, and our programs in the region continue to grow,” said Barbara Hoopes, interim associate dean for the Graduate School in the greater Washington, D.C., metro area. “The Hokie One Stop will exemplify our service-oriented environment, creating a place where students can access resources from the entire university community.”
Creating community in the D.C. area is a cornerstone of the One Stop’s mission.
“We know Virginia Tech’s Blacksburg campus has such a unique and wonderful culture,” said Mitchell. “By growing our Hokie One Stop presence in the D.C. area, we’re extending those student, faculty, and staff services across the Virginia Tech community, no matter which campus is home.”
The One Stop will feature three centralized services (University Bursar, Registrar, and Financial Aid), embedded representatives for offices like the Cook Counseling and Cranwell International Center, and supplemental services like housing and U-Pass and Hokie Passport distribution. The embedded offices will have at least one individual stationed at the One Stop; the supplemental services will not have a physical presence in the D.C. area, but the One Stop will have a direct line of communication to the offices in Blacksburg.
The centralized service supports students, faculty, and staff across the D.C. area, including those at the Washington Alexandria Architecture Center (WAAC), Virginia Tech Research Center – Arlington, Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center (EMC), Occoquan Watershed Monitoring Laboratory (OWML), Middleburg Agricultural Research and Extension (MARE), Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at Children's National Research and Innovation Campus, and the Northern Virginia Center (NVC) until it closes at the end of this year.
Mitchell encourages community members to reach out. “To all the students, faculty, and staff in the area, we encourage you to visit us at the Northern Virginia Center until our permanent space at the Innovation Campus Academic Building One is ready next year. We’re here to help as a resource for our campus community.”
