OT: President Sands Attends Hokie Camp

This article put a big smile on my face this morning. President Sands and his wife, Laura Sands (who is teaching in the Human Development Department at VT), attended a day of Hokie Camp at Smith Mountain Lake recently.

For those of you who don't know what Hokie Camp is, it's basically a chance for Freshman to get their feet wet in Virginia Tech's history, traditions, and values while also getting to meet fellow incoming students and make bonds before even moving in. It's a great program and everyone I know who's done it is glad they did.

I am very thankful for what our previous leadership did for this school, but it is great to see the new leaders bringing a breath of fresh air. This just gave me the feeling that our school is headed for some great things with President Sands at the helm.

I hope he and his wife had a great time and I can't wait to see them on Saturdays this fall!
