Registration for Alumni Weekend 2024 is open
Alumni Weekend is June 6-9, and online registration is now open.
The four-day event will feature dinner, live music, and fireworks on the Drillfield; behind-the-scenes looks at facilities and what’s new; a downtown takeover; activities for kids; exclusive tours and talks; and opportunities to explore campus.
Registration gets attendees access to all scheduled events as well as meals, happy hours, and drinks. When you sign up, the weekend is all inclusive. You can find a full schedule of events online, which is updated regularly.
The celebration is a tradition Hokies look forward to all year long. Alumni Weekend has become a beloved summertime milestone when Hokies can experience campus like never before and celebrate what makes the Virginia Tech community special.
Individual classes and groups also will be marking milestones with opportunities to celebrate anniversary year reunions with classmates. Several campus affinity groups, including Student Alumni Associates, Catholic Campus Ministry/Newman Community, and the German Club, will also be meeting up to reconnect and celebrate.
“I love attending Alumni Weekend for so many reasons,” said Laura Viancour ‘80.
“For years I'd only come to Virginia Tech for sports events. But at the reunion, you remember and get to experience all the reasons why you wanted to come in the first place.”
Cornerstone Alumni and the Class of 1974 also have special events planned. The Class of 1974 will celebrate its 50th Reunion and become part of the esteemed Cornerstone Alumni group.
But Alumni Weekend isn’t just for those marking a major milestone – all Hokies and their families and friends are invited to Blacksburg to join the celebration. The weekend festivities include something for everyone.
“I really like the tours of the new facilities, learning about the cutting edge research we're doing, the closing breakfast with the coaches, and being able to sample so many new Hokie and Virginia products,” said Viancour.
“You forget how nice it is to visit Blacksburg in the summer when the weather is at its best and the crowds are at their lowest!”
For those who are unable to attend in-person, a virtual option will be also available. Registration for the online only event will open this spring.
Registration for the weekend in Blacksburg is discounted through March. Early bird registration is $175 for adults, $60 for children ages 6 to 17, and free for children 5 and under. Hokies who register by March 31 can save up to $50. There is also special pricing for recent graduates from the Classes of 2014–24.
