We haven't heard from many of our local Black Alumni regarding this event. Please RSVP to me on whether or not you are willing to come out and support VT on Saturday for our Reception for Minority Students Offered Admission.
We need your presence to show that VT is still strong and persevering. Students want to talk to YOU to get your views on what a VT education has done for you.
