Inside HOKIE SPORTS | Vol. 11 No. 6 | June 2019

VIRGINIA TECH’S success on the field, on the courts, on the mat and on the track has been well documented over the years, but the school’s student-athletes continue to get it done in the classroom as well. These two pages have been dedicated to the Hokies’ great work academically in 2018-19, 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.
