The Graduate Life Center (GLC)

The GLC brings graduate academics, community and residence life together in a way you won't find anywhere else in the nation.

Located near the Newman Library, Squires Student Center, academic buildings, and downtown Blacksburg, the GLC provides spaces, services, housing, and programming that meet the unique needs of graduate and professional students and encourage their active participation in the graduate community.
