Reunion 2021

Welcome home, Hokies!

Student Affairs supports students by offering ways to build those connections to make our large, public university feel a little bit smaller…a place they call home. This division, comprised of more than 20 departments, focuses on the whole student -- supporting them in their purpose and their passion, their interpersonal and leadership skills, their investment in the community, and their holistic health and well-being.

There's so much going on in Student Affairs -- we hope you'll take some time to view the videos below to hear a message from our Vice President, learn more about some of our priorities, and see how donors and alumni are making a difference in our students' lives.
