On Saturday, July 30, we are having two consecutive events:
Welcome to Hokie Nation Service Project @ 9 AM – we are inviting area high school students that are preparing to enter VT as freshmen and introducing them to the concept of Ut Prosim while engaging with us in two community service projects that morning. We are also inviting current VT students home on summer break to join the cause.
Football Preseason Tailgate Picnic @ Noon – after the service projects, we are having our traditional preseason tailgate picnic at Idlewild Road Park. We will be providing hot dogs/hamburgers free of charge and just ask attendees to bring their favorite tailgate appetizer, side or dessert.
Please note: all alumni, current/future students and family/friends are welcome to attend either or both events. Please see below for more details about each event AND TO RSVP!
