A favorite Virginia Tech tradition returned this summer with more than 1,300 Hokies celebrating in Blacksburg and beyond.

Each summer, Hokies return to Blacksburg for a weekend of unique opportunities and the chance to explore a quieter campus. Virginia Tech’s first summer event was in 2018.

This year, almost 1,000 Hokies returned to Blacksburg June 8-11 to celebrate at Alumni Weekend – and another 376 joined virtually online. 

The four-day event included behind the scenes campus tours, dinner and live music on the Drillfield, happy hours, activities for young Hokies, presentations from university leaders, a town hall with President Tim Sands, a farewell brunch with Virginia Tech coaches, and more. 

The Hokie Spirit spanned generations as Cornerstone Alumni, recent graduates, and everyone in between celebrated the bond they share with their alma mater. Next year’s event is in the works and set for June 6-9, 2024. Learn more at alumni.vt.edu/weekend.
