Principles of Community Week

March 17th - 21st, 2025

The Virginia Tech Principles of Community is an aspirational statement that speaks to what we want to be as an institution. At its core is the belief that Virginia Tech is a community built on respect for all people and each of its members share in the responsibility for upholding its values. Every March during the week following spring break the Office for Inclusive Strategy and Excellence organizes Principles of Community Week to commemorate and reaffirm our commitments.
