Each year, the Virginia Tech Annual Fund solicits alumni and friends to help support research and programs across the university. For years, we’ve cited national rankings, awards, and educational benchmarks to prove that we’re on the cutting edge of technology.
This year, we are asking our alumni and friends to not only trust in our rankings and awards, but to look forward to what we are about to become and create. Across our university, there is an atmosphere of excitement and a vision for change.
At this moment, remarkable Virginia Tech faculty and students are daring to address the challenges of a rapidly changing world. We are working with physicians to analyze cancer data from all levels — the entire body, the cellular, the molecular, and the genetic — to create personalized medicine for patients. We are assisting producers to gain market share through value-added products, crop diversification, and new production technologies, thus, strengthening agricultural profitability. We are developing intergenerational programs, where potentially beneficial relationships between older adults and children are studied. We are not resting on our laurels any longer. We are creating the future.
