Mr. Thomas Feely

Undergraduate Student Representative

Feely, a senior majoring in construction engineering and management in the Myers-Lawson School of Construction, is the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets’ regimental commander and as a communications officer with the Virginia Tech Rescue Squad, brings a deep sense of service and student leadership to the role.

“In the corps, I’ve grown into leadership in steps — first learning to lead myself, then a fire team, then a squad, a company, and now nearly 1,300 cadets,” he said. “Serving as the undergraduate representative felt like the next step. This time, I’m stepping up to represent over 30,000 students.”

Feely is a campus ambassador for the Myers-Lawson School of Construction, where he advocates for the value of hands-on, real-world learning. He credits the school’s experiential model with preparing him to succeed in a recent summer internship — and with giving him confidence as a future leader in the field.
