This is home. Signs throughout Blacksburg proclaim the truism that Virginia Tech graduates often feel: the Drillfield, the town, and the nearby rolling hills are all infused with memories of a special time.

Alumni are encouraged — even urged! — to return to campus early and often. And the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences can offer some great reasons to visit.
