Description
Lorraine Feury was born and raised as a first generation immigrant in Northern Virginia. Her parents lived in Sierra Leone before moving to England for college. Although they did not finish, they moved to America and raised Lorraine to value family and schoolwork. Initially in researching schools, Lorraine did not consider Virginia Tech, but decided on it because of the distance (without being out-of-state), the football program, and research opportunities. She graduated with degrees in math and sociology in 2014 and works as a cost analyst.
In this interview, Lorraine talks about her time at Virginia Tech, integrating into the school, becoming active in the Black Student Association, and finding a cultural community. Lorraine covers the changes she would like to see at the school in relation to diversity, and what she hopes for the future.
