Alumni Award for Research Excellence
In 1975, the Alumni Association established the Alumni Award for Research Excellence in effort to promote research excellence at Virginia Tech. Awards were made to individuals or research teams who reached a level of significant research achievement in the areas of science or engineering and social sciences, humanities, or arts. The award was discontinued in 2024 with the establishment of new research awards.
