Alumni, current Hokies, and faculty and staff of the Department of Geography’s Meteorology Program gathered Sept. 9-10 in Blacksburg for the Meteorology 10-Year Anniversary Celebration. Alumni from all graduating classes were invited to campus to reconnect with classmates and faculty and forge new networks with current students. Participants attended a welcome reception, tailgate and Virginia Tech football game.
College of Natural Resources and Environment alumni who attended the fall CNRE Career Fair took time out from a busy day connecting with potential employees to show their Virginia Tech pride and pose for a photo. Overall, the event was extremely successful, with 41 employers (97 representatives) in attendance.

Department of Sustainable Biomaterials faculty also showed off their corrugated HokieBird and highlighted work with CLT and the local maple syrup industry.
