Meet Jordan Walker, @vt_engineering 's Outstanding Senior.
What started with a high school drafting class and a few “find your major” quizzes turned into a passion for water resources engineering, mentorship, and serving others through civil and environmental engineering.
Congrats, Jordan!
What started as a quick campus visit turned into an unforgettable journey for Nichole Dorn.
After graduating, she joined @kimleyhorn as a civil engineering analyst and recently earned @vt_engineering Outstanding Master’s Student Award for her achievements in sustainable land development. 🥳
Congratulations, Nichole! #VTCEE
A bold vision for the future 👏🤩
The U.S. Department of Energy has selected Virginia Tech and the Southeastern Universities Research Association to manage and operate the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News, one of the nation’s leading nuclear physics research laboratories.
Warren Dixon, an internationally recognized leader in robotics and autonomous technologies, has been named the next dean of the College of Engineering, officially beginning on July 10. 🎉
He brings a record of advancing high-impact research, expanding academic programs, and building strategic partnerships.
Please join us in welcoming him to Virginia Tech! 👋🤩
Congratulations to the winners of the 2026 Giovanni-Steger Poetry Prize!
🥇 First Place: Manas Karki (General Engineering) — “Visa Length”
🥈 Second Place: Gabe DeLuca (Creative Writing) — “Daisy”
🥉 Third Place: Natalie Lanter (Cybersecurity Management & Analytics) — “ADHD & Carrots”
Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating poetry, community, and creative expression. Khadijah Queen, associate professor of English, closed the evening the way Nikki always did — with a toast to poetry.
In the words of Nikki Giovanni: “We write because we believe that the human spirit cannot be tamed and should not be trained.”
Here’s to the storytellers — past, present, and future.
Here’s to Nikki. ✨
A new demonstration facility is opening doors for @vt_engineering Hokies. 🌱
Virginia Tech and Aclara Resources are advancing an Americas-based green tech supply chain with a new rare earths separation pilot plant at the Corporate Research Center, giving students hands-on experience to prepare for industry careers.
If balancing D1 athletics and an engineering major seems impossible, well, dozens of Hokies from @vt_engineering are proving otherwise. 🙌
Meet a few of those Hokies. ➡️
Registration for COE Spring Commencement is open! 🎓🎉
College of Engineering students who have officially applied for their degree on HokieSpa can now register for their May 16, 2026 COE #HokieGrad Ceremony.
📆 Complete your registration at vt.tassel.com by April 17, 2026.
From drones to quadrupeds, this hands-on workshop gave participants a close-up look at how robotics are shaping the future of construction through live demos and real-world applications. Big thanks to @proconconsulting for helping bring this experience to life!
From @virginia.tech to the eye of the storm! 🧡✈️🌀
Rebecca Keller ’18 recently returned to campus to speak with students and alumni about her work as a Hurricane Hunter with NOAA.
During a lecture hosted by @secatvt , she shared her passion for flying into the storm to gather data that improves weather forecasts.
