        <title>Beyond the stage with Step Afrika!</title>
        <link>https://news.vt.edu/videos/y/2026/01/Qm0OXL_YM_o.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ When world-class artists visit the Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech, a performance is just one piece of the story. Here we connect people of all ages — students, faculty, families, and community members — with artists in ways that extend far beyond a singular performance. We believe the arts are most powerful when they’re participatory, inspiring, and available to all. That’s why every visiting artist residency at the Center for the Arts includes meaningful interactions across campus and within our community — fostering creativity, dialogue, and connection that resonate long after the final bow. During a three-day residency in Blacksburg, Step Afrika! engaged with people of all ages across campus and throughout the New River Valley, demonstrating how the arts can connect, inspire, and open doors far beyond the stage. Watch to see how these visiting artists help build connection, spark curiosity, and embody Virginia Tech’s spirit of Ut Prosim — that I may serve. ]]></description>

        <link>https://news.vt.edu/videos/k/2021/09/1_6uuvo0dw.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ Celebrate the 150-year legacy of Virginia Tech through the history of its cadets through a one-of-a-kind sesquicentennial show, created and produced by the Institute of Creativity, Arts, and Technology, that was projected onto the façade of Lane Hall. The times and the uniforms may have changed over the decades, but the lifelong bonds of cadets are just as strong now as they were then — forged by a call to be a part of something bigger than themselves. The Corps of Cadets is the bridge between the university’s past and its future. Cadets are the keepers of tradition while they hone their skills to be the leaders of tomorrow. If you&#39;re a Hokie, there&#39;s a little bit of the Corps of Cadets in you. ]]></description>
