InclusiveVT

The series is an entertaining and informational look at many of the people and programs that are dedicated to serving underrepresented and underserved students, as well as faculty and staff.

We are dedicated to adhering to and promoting our institutional and individual commitment to Ut Prosim (that I may serve) in the spirit of community, diversity, and excellence. We affirm our conviction that racism has no place in our institution. We invite members of our campus community and those interested, to join this important and much needed conversation.

Virginia Tech recently approved Juneteenth as an official university holiday in honor of June 19, 1865. The holiday is recognized by 48 states and Washington, D.C. as a state holiday or ceremonial holiday commemorating the abolition of slavery in the U.S. Virginia Tech will honor the holiday by memorializing those who were enslaved on campus at the Solitude house, the oldest structure on campus, which is said to have come into existence around 1840.
