By utilizing a range of digital tools, we’ve positioned the Innovation Campus as a top choice for students seeking groundbreaking education in tech and innovation.
Supporting Local Business Growth
Beyond student recruitment, our marketing efforts have helped drive growth in Northern Virginia’s local economy. By raising awareness of the Innovation Campus, we’ve supported local businesses as they tap into a growing pool of talented students and future tech leaders.

With access to internships and job opportunities at Amazon, students benefit from a unique academic-industry partnership.
