 Nemetschek North America visits Virgina Tech:
Nemetschek North America conducted an On-Campus Marketing Internship at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) with the goal of creating awareness of Vectorworks in the architecture and landscape architecture department. An information booth, manned by interns Stefanie Feilinger and Ashley Julyan, was set up outside of Cowgill Hall, and over 100 students were given a FREE copy of Vectorworks. Architectual Industry Specialist, Luis Ruiz, came out to support the interns and answer students' questions. Compared to their current CAD software, many students were amazed by Vectorworks’ capabilities and expressed interest in adding it to their design toolbox.
We look forward to spreading the word on more campuses. Do you think your campus would benefit from learning more about Vectorworks? Contact Sonja and let us know!
