Virginia Tech has a motto: Ut Prosim (That I May Serve), which was adopted in 1896. Serving its communities is a biggie for the university. So much so that our students, faculty, and staff all get in on the act. Virginia Tech strives to live the motto through its three missions: learning, discovery, and engagement. Next time you're on campus, check out the Pylons at the War Memorial and you'll even see Ut Prosim represented there (the eight Pylons feature the university's values: brotherhood, honor, leadership, loyalty, service, sacrifice, duty, and Ut Prosim).
One annual good deed that students participate in is The Big Event. Usually held in early spring, Hokies gather on the Drillfield and disburse in groups to do service projects throughout the New River Valley.
Another resource for Hokies (and Hokies at heart) is VTEngage, which encourages students, faculty, and staff, as well as their friends and family to volunteer in their respective communities. VTEngage is a great resource for learning about opportunities for community service and logging your community service hours.
