Brummitt accepted to Virginia Tech
Please congratulate Logan Brummitt on his recent acceptance to Virginia Tech. Way to go Logan!
What is a Hokie? The origin of the word "Hokie" has nothing to do with a turkey. It was coined by O. M. Stull (class of 1896), who used it in a spirit yell he wrote for a competition.
Here's how that competition came to be held. Virginia Tech was founded in 1872 as a land-grant institution and was named Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College. In 1896, the Virginia General Assembly officially changed the college's name to Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute, a name so long that citizens shortened it in popular usage to VPI. The original college cheer, which made reference to the original name of the institution, was no longer suitable. Thus, a contest was held to select a new spirit yell, and Stull won the $5 top prize for his cheer, now known as Old Hokie:
Hoki, Hoki, Hoki, Hy.
Techs, Techs, V.P.I.
Sola-Rex, Sola-Rah.
Polytechs - Vir-gin-ia.
Rae, Ri, V.P.I.
Later, the phrase "Team! Team! Team!" was added at the end, and an "e" was added to "Hoki."

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro was established by legislative enactment on February 18, 1891. The City of Greensboro, situated near the geographical center of the state, was selected for the location of the new institution after its citizens approved $30,000 in bonds for its first buildings. R.S. Pullen and R.T. Gray gave the original 10-acre site. The institution opened on October 5, 1892 with a student body of 198 and a faculty of 15 — and the final enrollment reached 223 at the end of the first year. Classes were organized in three departments: commercial, domestic science and pedagogy.

Garibaldo-Valdez accepted to Queens University of Charlotte
Please congratulate Ramon Garibaldo-Valdez on his recent acceptance to Queens University of Charlotte. Way to go Ramon!
Our Core Program is organized around the theme of ethical issues from the ancients to the moderns. Seniors take a capstone seminar called "Ethics," which pulls together all the elements from the previous three years: course work, the internship and the study tour abroad. The entire program asks students these questions: What does it mean to be a good person? What does it mean to be a member of a larger community?
To go along with what we teach in class, Queens sponsors numerous service and volunteer activities throughout the year. In all that we do with our students - both inside and outside the classroom - we try to reinforce the university motto: "Not to be served but to serve." We are active in Habitat for Humanity and "Room in the Inn," tutoring young children, and caring for the sick and infirm, among many other opportunities. We even award a Community Service Scholarship which gives a $2,300 tuition grant in exchange for 200 hours of service work in Charlotte per academic year. Ask your admissions counselor for more details on these and other opportunities.
Commitment to service is a large part of what Queens is all about. If you are not inclined toward service when you first come here, we hope you will be before you leave.

Fuentes accepted to Campbell University
Please congratulate Kathy Fuentes on her recent acceptance to Campbell University. Way to go Kathy!
Implicit in Campbell's motto, Ad Astra Per Aspera, to the stars through difficulties, adopted during the dark days of reconstruction, are beliefs, aims, and objectives that have guided this institution through ever-changing circumstances.
Campbell University was founded as Buies Creek Academy on January 5, 1887, by James Archibald Campbell, a North Carolina preacher who believed that no student should be denied admission because of lack of funds. In 1926, the school attained junior college status and changed its name from Buies Creek Academy to Campbell Junior College. In 1961, Campbell became a senior college.

Musacchio accepted to Queens University of Charlotte
Please congratulate Alexa Musacchio on her recent acceptance to Queens University of Charlotte. Way to go Alexa!
Our Core Program is organized around the theme of ethical issues from the ancients to the moderns. Seniors take a capstone seminar called "Ethics," which pulls together all the elements from the previous three years: course work, the internship and the study tour abroad. The entire program asks students these questions: What does it mean to be a good person? What does it mean to be a member of a larger community?
To go along with what we teach in class, Queens sponsors numerous service and volunteer activities throughout the year. In all that we do with our students - both inside and outside the classroom - we try to reinforce the university motto: "Not to be served but to serve." We are active in Habitat for Humanity and "Room in the Inn," tutoring young children, and caring for the sick and infirm, among many other opportunities. We even award a Community Service Scholarship which gives a $2,300 tuition grant in exchange for 200 hours of service work in Charlotte per academic year. Ask your admissions counselor for more details on these and other opportunities.
Commitment to service is a large part of what Queens is all about. If you are not inclined toward service when you first come here, we hope you will be before you leave.
