Dear Virginia Tech community,

At Virginia Tech, transparency is essential in fostering a safe and supportive environment for all members of our community. As we reflect on the Title IX Annual Report for the 2023-24 academic year, we recognize the importance of sharing the data and insights that help us understand experiences of sexual harassment and misconduct on our campus. This report details the number of reports received by the Office for Equity and Accessibility, which is now the Office for Civil Rights Compliance and Prevention Education, covering incidents of sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, and intimate partner violence.

The data captured in this report not only sheds light on the experiences of Virginia Tech students, but it also plays a crucial role in informing our ongoing efforts to create a campus that is free from sexual harassment and misconduct. By analyzing these reports, the Title IX team is better equipped to design targeted prevention strategies and support services aimed at preventing future harm.

Each member of our community has a vital role to play in making a difference at Virginia Tech. Whether through supporting those impacted, raising awareness, reporting, or engaging in prevention initiatives, we all contribute to the collective effort to address these issues.

It is a privilege to serve as Virginia Tech’s Title IX Coordinator. I am deeply honored to build upon the excellent work already being done by our team and campus partners. Together, we will continue to expand our efforts to combat sexual harassment and misconduct, fostering a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment where all individuals can thrive.

All the best,

Angela Catena,
Title IX coordinator
