OT: New Virginia Tech president to be announced Friday

The entire report from The Roanoke Times is here: http://www.roanoke.com/news/nrv/2428396-12/new-virginia-tech-president-t.... Relevant information is quoted below.

Virginia Tech's next president is scheduled to be announced after a board of visitors meeting set for 1 p.m. Friday in Blacksburg.

The board will meet at the Holtzman Alumni Center at the Inn at Virginia Tech to take up the appointment of a successor to President Charles Steger. A public vote is required to approve an employment contract for the new president.

A news conference will be held at the conclusion of that meeting in the Inn's Latham Ballroom, the university's press office announced this afternoon.

All details of the national search which began in June have been kept tightly controlled as a 22-member university committee, members of the board and a professional search firm recruited and vetted an undisclosed number of candidates. The search for Tech's 16th president began in June, shortly after Steger announced that he would step down when a replacement was named.
