Cornerstone Alumni Events

Cornerstone Crew is a monthly, casual, "no-host" gathering of Virginia Tech's most passionate and respected alumni in Blacksburg! It's a time to get together for fellowship at a local establishment, reminisce about the old days, and make plans for future Hokie events.

Join us for a virtual conversation between Cornerstone Alumni and Student Alumni Associates on Wednesday, Oct. 22! This is an opportunity to connect with the new generation of Hokies, provide mentorship, reengage with Virginia Tech, and learn about upcoming alumni events.
