Alumni | We want to hear what you have been doing. Although we cannot print stories, obituaries, or photographs submitted to the magazine, your photos of alumni celebrations -- weddings, births, anniversaries, birthdays, and other spirited occasions -- can be included here in the magazine's online version.
Mail your images to Virginia Tech Magazine, 105 Media Building, Blacksburg, VA 24061, or e-mail them to vtmag@vt.edu.
Mail your career, retirement, wedding, birth, and death news to Alumni Notes, Virginia Tech Alumni Association, Holtzman Alumni Center, Blacksburg, VA 24061; e-mail it to fleets@vt.edu; or submit it online.
Because of the magazine's schedule, your news may not appear in print for several issues.
