I am majoring in Cybersecurity and if all goes well, I will be graduating in 2026. I am very excited to have new experiences and learn new things here at ODU as I begin this journey. Previously, I was a real estate assessor for Carroll County, Virginia, and after 18 years I decided it was time to move on. My wife recently graduated from ODU receiving a Masters in Library and Information Science. She encouraged me to go back to school, and as luck would have it, everything worked out so I can pursue my new degree. My wife actually won an award for her E-portfolio at ODU. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/matt-surratt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37116\/2024\/09\/PSX_20240914_212816-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-296\" style=\"width:355px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/matt-surratt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37116\/2024\/09\/PSX_20240914_212816-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/matt-surratt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37116\/2024\/09\/PSX_20240914_212816-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/matt-surratt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37116\/2024\/09\/PSX_20240914_212816-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/matt-surratt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37116\/2024\/09\/PSX_20240914_212816-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/matt-surratt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37116\/2024\/09\/PSX_20240914_212816-1-630x840.jpg 630w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/matt-surratt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37116\/2024\/09\/PSX_20240914_212816-1-960x1280.jpg 960w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/matt-surratt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37116\/2024\/09\/PSX_20240914_212816-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Matthew Surratt and 2024 is my first year at Old Dominion University.
