Welcome

to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, popularly known as Virginia Tech, a comprehensive higher education institution and the Commonwealth of Virginia’s leading research university.

Located in the town of Blacksburg, Virginia Tech is home to world-class faculty, dynamic collaborations, groundbreaking research, and a friendly community of Hokies committed to service and academic excellence.

Since its founding in 1872 as a public landgrant school, Virginia Tech has enacted a hands-on, engaging approach to education that prepares scholars to be leaders in their fields and communities. While offering approximately 240 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, the university provides technological leadership and fuels economic growth and job creation locally, regionally, and across the commonwealth.

The university is dedicated to its motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve), and boasts a vibrant culture of ideas and activities and a palpable spirit of innovation that truly is contagious.

The information in these pages will guide you in your discovery of the university, open the doors to our beautiful campus, and introduce you to the surrounding area.

Blacksburg

occupies some 12,000 acres nestled on a plateau between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains. Home to approximately 43,600 residents, including Virginia Tech students, the town is considered small by most any standard—but don’t let its size or location fool you.

Because of the town’s award-winning services, reasonable cost of living, safety, moderate climate, and abundant leisure activities, Blacksburg is consistently ranked among the country’s best places to live and has earned a reputation nationwide as a well-managed, stable, and forward-looking community.

Take a look around. In no time, you’ll discover how truly special Blacksburg is.

Visiting campus and walking among the Hokie Nation is a necessity if you want to really “get” the Hokie Spirit.

Make your first stop the Visitor and Undergraduate Admissions Center.

The center provides parking passes, maps, directions, and other pertinent information that will help you navigate campus. The center is located at 925 Prices Fork Road, Blacksburg, VA 24061.

HOKIE NATION

“Hokie” wasn’t a term used when Virginia Tech

was established in 1872 as Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College (VAMC). In 1896, when the Virginia General Assembly officially changed VAMC’s name to Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute, VPI quickly emerged as the preferred moniker.

O.M. Stull (Class of 1896) coined the term “Hokie” in a cheer (below) he wrote for a competition to replace the existing spirit yell, which referenced VAMC.

“Old Hokie” Hoki, Hoki, Hoki, Hy. Techs, Techs, V.P.I. Sola-Rex, Sola-Rah. Polytechs - Vir-gin-ia. Rae, Ri, V.P.I.

The Hokie Stone that adorns most of the Virginia Tech buildings is dramatic, varying in color from grays, browns, and blacks to pinks, oranges, and maroons. First used for campus building construction in 1901, much of the native limestone has been mined in a quarry owned by the university. And hidden in all that stone around campus are 14 gargoyles and “cowgoyles.”

Did you know?

A display case in the Williamsburg Room of Squires Student Center contains class rings from 1921 through the present.

Since adopting our motto Ut Prosim (That I May Serve) in 1896, students have graduated from the university knowing that true leaders make service to others an important part of their lives.

Today, service is infused throughout every fiber of the university, including such organizations as VT Engage: The Community Learning Collaborative, as well as efforts like The Big Event and Relay For Life, both among the largest such college events in the nation.

The class rings tradition at Virginia Tech is one of the university’s oldest and most beloved traditions. It started in 1912 when the Class of 1914 selected a student committee to design a meaningful and unique ring. Nearly every year since, the sophomore cl a s s h a s e l e c t e d a committee to oversee a redesign. During its junior year, the class hosts a Ring Dance, a tradition dating from 1934, to symbolize and celebrate the students’ transition from juniors to seniors.

Did you know?

In 1872, Addison Caldwell hiked miles from Craig County, Virginia, to enroll as the first student at Virginia Tech. Outside of Major Williams Hall, you will find a statue in his honor.

The HokieBird is the product of converging traditions, but Virginia Tech’s world-famous mascot took decades to hatch.

In 1913, Floyd Meade, a local resident known as “Hard Times” was chosen by VPI students to serve as the school’s mascot. Since the athletic teams had occasionally been called Gobblers for several years, Meade trained a large turkey to gobble on command and paraded it on the sidelines during football games.

Although a live turkey was a hard act to follow, the first costumed Gobbler took the field in the fall of 1962 and then underwent more than a few changes over the years. In the late 1970s and into the 1980s, a football coach seeking to de-emphasize the Gobblers’ presumed allusion to the athletes’ reputation for gobbling down their food promoted the Hokies nickname instead.

VAMC colors until 1896 were black and cadet-gray that, when rendered in stripes popular at the time, appeared more suitable for prisoners. A committee formed to select new colors discovered that no other college in the land claimed burnt orange and Chicago maroon. The pioneering combination was officially adopted that same year.

10 THE HOKIE NATION

COMMUNITY

Diversity and the affirmation of difference at Virginia Tech

can be seen in the composition of its leadership, faculty, staff, and students; through its policies, procedures, and practices; within its organizational structures; across its curricula; and in the fabric of its interpersonal relationships. The university as a whole works to adhere to the Principles of Community adopted by the Board of Visitors in 2005.

Outreach

is at the heart of Virginia Tech’s land-grant mission—and a way of life for Hokies on campus and beyond.

Outreach and International Affairs, which spearheads Virginia Tech’s engagement efforts, collaborates with institutions, businesses, and communities to help transform economies, increase opportunities, and improve quality of life around the world.
