Hi, I’m Holland Forsythe! I was on Virginia Tech’s EcoCAR EV Challenge team during the 2023-2024 competition year. After graduating in May, I relocated to Chicago, where I now work at Argonne National Laboratory as a Technology Integration Project Coordinator.

Did you know that over 276 companies hired AVTC students during the Mobility Challenge? That means there are a lot of us out there—and we’re everywhere! This group is designed to

help you reconnect with former EcoCAR teammates and create new connections within our alumni network.

Here are some ways we envision this space being used:

· Virtual coffee chats to catch up or exchange ideas.

· Peer resume reviews to help each other polish our professional profiles.

· Career advice and mentorship from fellow alumni who’ve been in your shoes.

· In-person meetups at conferences, industry events, or even casual gatherings.

We want this space to be as valuable to you as possible, so we’d love to hear your ideas. What would make this platform useful for you? Let’s build a community that meets your needs and celebrates our shared experiences.

Look forward to hearing from you all!
