Virginia Tech President Tim Sands will deliver his fourth State of the University Address on Friday, Sept. 6, 2019, at 3:30 p.m. in the Moss Arts Center.

Doors will open at 3 p.m. in the Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre, located within the Moss Arts Center’s Street and Davis Performance Hall at 190 Alumni Mall. A student performance will precede the address.

The event is free and open to the public, and the Virginia Tech community is encouraged to attend. The university will livestream the event so that students, faculty, staff, parents, and alumni located outside Blacksburg can participate.

During his address, Sands will reflect on the previous school year and share his aspirations and ideas for the university in the current academic year.

This year’s address kicks off an active weekend for Virginia Tech. The Hokies will host Old Dominion on Saturday for the home opener of its 2019 football season. Additionally, the Legacy Society, a giving organization at Virginia Tech, will host its annual celebration with a reception on Friday evening and breakfast on Saturday before the game. Several alumni tailgate events are scheduled also, including Multicultural Alumni and Pamplin Alumni.

Parking is available in the North End Parking Garage on Turner Street. Virginia Tech faculty and staff possessing a valid Virginia Tech parking permit can enter and exit the garage free of charge. Limited street parking is also available.
