The highlight, in my opinion:

"And that is why, when you all are out there in the world and you meet someone and you
tell them that you’re from Virginia Tech, and they say, 'Huh, isn’t that the school where' -- I
want you to interrupt them right there and say, 'Yes, it is the school where we have some of the
best academic programs and professors in the country.' That’s what you tell them.

You tell them, 'Yes, it is the school where students are passionate about serving their country
and supporting each other. And by the way, which also has the best campus food you’ll ever
eat.' Who can say that?

You tell them, 'Yes, it’s the school where we produce graduates who are leaders in their
industries, and pillars of their communities, and who carry their Hokie pride with them every day
for the rest of their lives.' You say, 'Yes, that is the school I attend. That is Virginia Tech.'"
