“Movement is motion, momentum, and forward-progress toward our best self and a better world. It’s what Ut Prosim calls us toward in the little steps daily that add up to transformation.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Frank Shushok, our Vice President of Student Affairs, has used these unfamiliar times to focus on movement - both physically and intellectually.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I’ve long been a regular visitor to the gym, so my routine has certainly been impacted. I’m now a regular bike rider and take advantage of the Huckleberry Trail. Not only is it a workout, the beauty is stunning and renewing.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After graduating with his undergraduate from Baylor University, he received his masters degree from Ohio State, and went on to earn his Ph.D from the University of Maryland. Frank came to Virginia Tech in 2009 as the Senior Associate Vice President for Student Affairs. 
Frank is a husband and father of three, this has helped him see the silver lining in these strange times.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“While disruptions are rarely appreciated initially, they do jolt us into “seeing” and trying new things. This has certainly been the case for me. I’m more grateful than ever for my family, friends, my health, and being part of the Hokie community.  We are only guaranteed today, so I don’t want to miss a moment.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Frank was elevated to his position of leadership as the Vice President of Student Affairs in April and has gracefully guided our university through the pandemic’s troubling and uncertain times.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Have a plan for nurturing, deepening, and even beginning relationships, especially during this pandemic. The need for being in community and having meaningful relationships with people is in our DNA. Making this happen is one of the most important moves we can make to strengthen our overall well being.”
