Get Involved

Get involved by attending opportunities, volunteering, and giving back.
Attend
Attend one of our college-hosted opportunities to expand your network and learn more about our innovative programs and research. Our university also provides opportunities for all Hokies and friends to attend broader events and reunions, and you're never too far from another Hokie when you connect to your local chapter.
