As an Athletics department, we recognize the pain so many of our student-athletes, coaches and staff are experiencing in light of the hate, bigotry and violence directed at people of color and other marginalized groups in our nation. We stand by Virginia Tech's principles of community that affirm the dignity of every individual and reject all forms of prejudice and discrimination. We will listen, we will learn, and we will do everything we can to impact change on our campus and across our region. We will do this together. We will do this as Hokies.
