The ninth annual Graduate Education Week at Virginia Tech begins on Monday, March 23 with a student appreciation luncheon scheduled for 11:30 a.m. in the Graduate Life Center at Donaldson Brown Multipurpose Room on the university's main campus in Blacksburg, Va.
“There is no better way to begin our week of celebration than to say thank you to Virginia Tech’s graduate students for their many contributions to the advancement of learning and research here,” said Karen DePauw, Ph.D., vice president and dean for graduate education.
