Developments at Virginia Tech
The official Tumblr of Virginia Tech's Office of University Development, located at the Gateway Center on the corner of University City Blvd., and Prices Fork Rd., in Blacksburg, Va.
This website is maintained by the Development Communications team headed by Albert Raboteau, Gary Cope, and Chuck George.
In 1992, the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets saw its enrollment drop to about 400, the lowest since 1980. In 1995, the corps introduced the Emerging Leader Scholarship program, and enrollment has been on the rise ever since.
Meet Sean Grindlay and his “donor parents” Ray and Ellen Thrift. Grindlay is a senior at Virginia Tech and a member of the Corps of Cadets and is the recipients of an Emerging Leader Scholarship sponsored by the Thrifts.
In addition to scholarship money to help Grindlay pay for his college education, Ellen Thrift also throws in some of her famous “Cowboy Cookies.”
