Tori Fultz is a first-year college adviser with Virginia College Advising Corps (VCAC). She discovered AmeriCorps while she was a student at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise (UVA Wise). She recalls, “I am a UVA Wise alum and I always wanted to pursue a career in higher education through the university. I quickly discovered the college adviser position on their website, and it sounded like something I would love, so I applied, and here I am! While I am still very new to VCAC, that hasn’t stopped me from having memorable experiences already. Thus far, I really enjoyed my first in-person training in Charlottesville this past January. My favorite memory has to be when me and my colleagues decided to eat an entire rotisserie chicken in the car on our way to Charlottesville!”

Tori continues, “Working with Virginia College Advising Corps has been nothing short of amazing. As far as my future goes, VCAC has allowed me to branch off into higher education and has given me the opportunity to help the younger generation, which is extremely rewarding. Working in higher ed is definitely something I can see myself enjoying and doing long-term!”
