This past summer, I had the amazing opportunity to address our newest graduates of Virginia Tech – now alumni – at their commenecement ceremony. This was, in particular, for those graduating from our programs that are here in the “National Capital Region,” as we call it – which is pretty much Washington D.C. and the never-ending suburbs around it.

We have more than 50,000 living alumni in the Washington D.C./Northern Virginia region – and I do not think we are being boastful when we say we have one of the best alumni chapters, the D.C. Hokies!

If you have any interest in checking out the thoughts that I shared with our Class of 2017, check it out below! Incase the link doesn’t auto-correct, my remarks begin at 1:40:52 and end at 1:54:15. The rest of the graduation is pretty sweet, too. :)
