Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, known as "Virginia Tech," is a leading research institution - ranked 44th in the U.S. for its university research programs. Virginia Tech is a land-grant institution located in Blacksburg, Virginia on 2,600 acres. It offers nearly 70 undergraduate and 150 graduate degree programs. Virginia Tech's motto, Ut Prosim, translates from the Latin as "That I May Serve." It fulfills this motto through a dedication to learning, discovery and engagement.
Virginia Tech is comprised of eight colleges and a graduate school. Its campuses feature an airport, a computing and communications complex with international access, an adjacent corporate research center, and more.
History
Founded in 1872, Virginia Tech was originally called Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College. The name was changed in1896 to Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute. This name was so long that locals shortened it to "VPI." After the name change, a new school spirit cheer was needed. A contest was held to select a new, more suitable cheer. 1896 graduate, O.M. Stull, won the top prize for the cheer he created, which is known as "Old Hokie." The school mascot, which originally was a turkey, eventually became a "Hokiebird." Today the mascot wears an orange and maroon bird costume that somewhat resembles a turkey.
The school colors of burnt orange and maroon were chosen in 1896.
Virginia Tech is one of only three public universities in the U.S. that still has both an active corps of cadets and civilian students on campus. Historically, Virginia Tech required corps participation for all able-bodied males. This tradition continued until 1964, when corps participation became voluntary.
