Discover Gateway

Gateway is a unique program where admitted students from underrepresented backgrounds are welcomed to campus for a weekend of social activities and to learn more about life at Virginia Tech and the vast opportunities offered. Gateway is an overnight event, held in April.

Participants are grouped together with hosts that are current Virginia Tech students from similar backgrounds or who have similar areas of interest. Further details of the weekend and schedule of events can be found on this site.

Gateway is optional - there's no need to attend if you know that Virginia Tech is the place for you.

Space is limited, so please register as soon as you receive your invitation.
