Chicago alumni social

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.

No matter where you land after graduating, there's a Hokie waiting to welcome you! Across the country, chapters are hosting events to welcome new Hokies to their area. Connect with members of your alumni chapter, meet your young alumni committee, and learn all about your new city.

All Virginia Tech Landscape Architecture alumni and friends are invited to join students, faculty, and Dean Lu Liu for a reception at the VT Washington Alexandria Architecture Center (WAAC). View student work, network with fellow alumni, and enjoy the program remarks by faculty. This event concludes a series of year-long celebration events to commemorate 50 years of landscape architecture coinciding with the 2024 ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture.

The registration fee is $25 per alumni/friend, which includes hors d’oeuvres and two drink tickets. $5 of the registration fee is a gift to the Landscape Architecture Program to support student programs. Faculty and students are free with pre-registration.
