Dedicated to its motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve), Virginia Tech pushes the boundaries of knowledge by taking a hands-on, transdisciplinary approach to preparing scholars to be leaders and problem-solvers. A comprehensive land-grant institution that enhances the quality of life in Virginia and throughout the world, Virginia Tech is an inclusive community dedicated to knowledge, discovery, and creativity. Virginia Tech offers the widest range of degree choices in Virginia to more than 36,000 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students on all its campuses. Virginia Tech has a significant presence across Virginia, including numerous Extension offices and research centers. In Northern Virginia, the university is developing a 1 million-square-foot Innovation Campus that will become a global center of talent production and technology excellence. In Roanoke, the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC and the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine are a part of the emerging Health Sciences and Technology Campus. The main campus is in Blacksburg, Virginia, while the university’s international presence is anchored by the Steger Center for International Scholarship in Riva San Vitale, Switzerland. Other sites are in Newport News, Richmond, and Abingdon. Offering approximately 280 undergraduate and graduate majors, Virginia Tech has eight undergraduate colleges, a school of medicine, a veterinary medicine college, Graduate School, and Honors College. Inside and outside of the classroom, in living-learning communities, and in collaboration across academic disciplines, Virginia Tech students engage in experiential learning. In Virginia Tech’s transdisciplinary communities called Destination Areas, scholars seek to address complex global challenges that cross traditional academic boundaries. Taking students to the next level by helping them solve real-world problems, Tech professors have a reputation for imagining the next great thing – from blind-driver cars to energy-conscious homes – and then making it happen. A leading global research institution, Virginia Tech conducts more than $500 million in research each year (the FY18 total was $531 million). The university boasts world-class research institutes and facilities — such as the Smart Road transportation research testbed, and the Cube, a four-story theater and laboratory in the Moss Arts Center. The LINK LICENSE LAUNCH team, a one-stop shop for industry partners from discovery to market, is dedicated to streamlining all aspects of corporate partnerships, from research collaborations to corporate giving to technology commercialization and startups. Guided by its Principles of Community, the university is dedicated to increasing access, inclusion, and diversity in order to create a community that nurtures learning and growth for all of its members. The desire to serve is deeply ingrained in Virginia Tech’s learning, discovery, and engagement. More than a motto, Ut Prosim is a value system that guides students’ decisions and helps mold them into responsible citizens of the world.
