Boundless Impact: Inclusion and Diversity Discussion

Moderated by President Tim Sands, listen as alumni Bruce Smith '85, Lynne Doughtie '85, and Aaron Rouse '07 give their thoughts on how to increase the number of underrepresented and underserved students, increase the diversity of our faculty, and provide the financial support that every accepted student needs. We can all make Virginia Tech a more inclusive community, a key priority as part of the university's Boundless Impact campaign.

Inspired. And inspiring.
