Virginia Tech graduate alumni are leaders and innovators in the global community, active participants in the life of the graduate school, and partners in our continued success.

From around the world and across the country and more than 50,000 strong, our dedicated graduate alumni provide critical financial support; offer invaluable services and opportunities to graduate students; and support our graduate school community.

As a Graduate School alum, you are part of a growing, vibrant community, and you remain part of our family. Alumni often check back with us to find information, continue their education or to learn about events. Here are some of the things alumni ask about most often:

We love seeing our alumni during Homecoming celebrations, for Graduate Education Week in the spring, and at other events throughout the year. 

The Graduate School and Alumni Association seek nominations each year for the Outstanding Graduate Alumni Achievement Award. We honor the Graduate Alumni Achievement Award winner during the Fall Graduate Commencement Ceremony. 

If you know of someone who is considering graduate school, let us know. We're happy to reach out and provide information about the range of programs Virginia Tech offers, and answer any questions that person may have. Use the link below to refer a student:
