        <title>Preserving one of Virginia&#39;s most unique historic homes</title>
        <link>https://news.vt.edu/videos/y/2026/07/ZZEceW16pUw.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ The Octagon House stands as one of Southwest Virginia’s most distinctive historic landmarks, offering a unique window into the region’s architectural, cultural, and social history. This video explores the ongoing efforts to document and preserve the house through modern technologies such as LiDAR and 3D scanning, while also examining its significance within the broader story of Smyth County. Through the perspectives of descendants, preservation advocates, and researchers, the project highlights the importance of safeguarding historic places and ensuring that their stories remain accessible to future generations. At the heart of this work is a commitment to telling a more complete history of the Octagon House, including the contributions of the enslaved men and women whose labor made its construction possible. As restoration and research continue, the site is emerging as a center for historical interpretation, education, and community engagement. By preserving both the physical structure and the stories connected to it, project leaders hope to create a lasting resource that honors the past while supporting cultural and economic development across the region. ]]></description>

        <title>From Classroom to Crisis: Building a Smarter EMT Training Experience</title>
        <link>https://news.vt.edu/videos/y/2026/06/JUjREexQ9cA.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ In partnership with Virginia Tech’s Master of Engineering program (M.Eng), the Alexandria Fire Department worked with graduate students to modernize its EMT training system by creating a more interactive, less instructor-dependent experience. The team developed an Adaptive Scenario Engine that uses real-time technology and a responsive 3D patient avatar whose condition, vitals, appearance, and reactions change dynamically based on trainee actions. Demonstrated through a stroke-focused Basic Life Support (BLS) simulation, the system provided live patient data and realistic patient interactions, allowing trainees to engage with the avatar as they would in a real emergency. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ The 2025 Hokie Storm Chase saw 15 meteorology majors, led by instructor Dave Carroll, put their forecasting skills to the test by taking lessons learned in the classroom about meteorological data and applying it to real world data to make predictions about super cell thunderstorms on the Great Plains, often hundreds of miles away and hours in the future.

The ultimate goal for the students was to see a tornado. In northern Minnesota, they saw two. ]]></description>

So, Buxton decided to learn American Sign Language herself, to best serve Bennett and future students who practice ASL. ]]></description>

        <title>Hokies in the Heart of Politics: Virginia Tech students experience the Washington Semester</title>
        <link>https://news.vt.edu/videos/k/2023/09/1_wjfxo8bx.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ The School of Public and International Affairs offers students an opportunity to simultaneously intern and earn credits toward their degrees in the nation&#39;s capital. This video features three students in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences&#39;s Department of Political Science discussing the enriching experiences they&#39;ve had working in and around Washington D.C. through the Washington Semester program. Professor Joel Peters, director of the Washington, D.C., Semester in Global Exchange, describes what students can gain. Students have multiple options based on their interests when it comes to the Washington Semester. The Washington Semester in Global Engagement is a unique 15 credit program open to all interested students. It consists of a combination of courses on global affairs, internship opportunities, workshops, seminars and networking opportunities with D.C. professionals and policy makers. It offers students the opportunity to experience policy-making firsthand, and explore the wealth of political and cultural opportunities available in the Washington, D.C. area. Meanwhile, the Washington Semester in Leadership and Governance (WSLG) is a 9-credit summer program for undergraduates that combines a 10-week Washington, D.C.-area internship, policy seminar, and field study experiences immersing participants in the world of policymakers, public servants, beltway bandits, and others who make the D.C. area a unique place to work and live.
