Fall Family Weekend - September 20-22, 2019
Family Weekends are a time for you and your student to reconnect. We encourage you to explore the New River Valley, Blacksburg, and the Virginia Tech campus. Special events include athletic competitions, exhibitions, featured dining events, information sessions, open houses, presentations, outdoor activities, and tours. No matter what type of event or activity you enjoy most, make sure to spend some time making lasting memories with your student.
