Virginia Tech’s real-world impact through outcome-oriented teaching, research, and outreach will be the focus of President Tim Sands’ 10th State of the University Address at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 18.

For those on the Roanoke Health Sciences and Technology campus, the program will be webcast live at 3 p.m. in Room M106 of Riverside 2.

The address will include examples of how the university’s engagement is affecting the lives of people and communities — including a Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC highlight.
