New Student Event

We were so excited to host our first-ever New Cadet Breakroom and spend time with some of our incredible CALS cadets! 🧡 After days of hard work and training, this was a chance for them to recharge, enjoy some refreshments, connect with fellow cadets, call their loved ones, and take a well-deserved break.

We wanted to express how proud we are of our CALS cadets and what they have accomplished already. We’re cheering them on as they begin the semester ahead, filled with growth, success, and plenty of moments to make Virginia Tech feel like home.
