Oct. 16 Kickoff a Big Success; 50,000+ Hours Pledged on First Day

Imagine the power of 600,000+ hours of community service performed by the Virginia Tech community and supporters of Virginia Tech to honor those lost April 16 and the commitment to service they demonstrated within their communities worldwide. We invite everyone to become "engaged" in the university motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve).

The purpose of VT-ENGAGE is to join university and community through service. Members of the university community, Virginia Tech alumni, and family and friends of Virginia Tech are asked to commit and complete at least 10 hours of community service by the end of the spring 2008 semester.

Goal for the Virginia Tech community: Sign up for and perform 300,000 hours of community service by the end of the spring semester

Goal for Virginia Tech alumni: Pledge and perform 300,000 hours of community service by the end of the spring semester

Family and friends of Virginia Tech: We look forward to seeing how many hours of community service you sign up for and perform by the end of the spring semester!
