Students and recent alumni talk about loneliness, and their struggles as
new students on campus to make friends and find community–but also
about how they did find belonging at Virginia Tech.
Because of this time of physical distancing and remote
communication, all interviews were self-recorded on the interviewee's
own phone and uploaded for Virginia Tech Communications and Hokie
Wellness staff to edit.
