Written by Communications Team Member Jayme Katis

Did you ever have a candid conversation with a professor that changed your life forever? Have you had coffee with an instructor that truly guided your post education decisions? Remembered that one Professor who takes the time to learn your name in oversized lecture halls? Recently, Virginia Tech’s Alan Abrahams was nominated and elected as one of NerdScholar’s “40 Under 40”. NerdScholar’s first selection centered itself on celebrating professors who exert passion for their subject matter onto their students. Selections were chose based off of personal nominations and rankings from the crowd based sites of RateMyProfessors and CourseRank.

Alan Abrahams has changed the Virginia Tech community through his interaction with students at the Pamplin College of Business. Encouraged by the challenge and knowledge found in education, Abrahams hopes to share these same motives onto his student body. Educated in South Africa, his hometown and at the University of Cambridge, Professor Abrahams enjoys the benefits found in learning and development. Abrahams has taught business information technology at the university level for the past seven years and believes that “each of us is measured not just by what we can do, but what we can do to help others.” Energized by the community at Virginia Tech, Abrahams centers himself on business and entrepreneurship endeavors as he truly lives the Virginia Tech tagline, “Invent the Future”. Professor Abrahams has continued to support development of both business students and the university student body.
