Hokie Veteran Spotlights
During the month of November, the CRCPE team encourages all protected veterans to self-identify through Hokie Team or their own human resources office. Self-identification allows Virginia Tech to recognize and support our veterans and supports strategic efforts to create and maintain diversity within faculty and staff. As part of this effort, we highlighted some of our veterans who proudly served.
