FOR 2017–18 ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS VIRGINIA TECH’S success on the field, on the courts, on the mats and on the track has been well documented over the years, but the school’s student-athletes are getting it done in the classroom as well. These two pages have been dedicated to the Hokies’ great work academically in 2017-18, much of which can be attributed to their hard work, to the dedication of the coaching staffs and the Student-Athlete Academic Support Services office, and to the contributions of donors, who give the athletics department the resources needed to help these student-athletes be successful in all phases. (Disclaimer: some academic honors for spring sports have not been announced yet.)
