Installation of New Virginia Tech President

Dr. Timothy Sands has been officially installed  as the 16th president of the University.

The former provost and acting president of Purdue, in Indiana, Sands got his Ph.D. from Berkeley in Materials Science and Engineering.  Since he arrived in Virginia this past summer, he’s been talking with everyone from students and faculty to political leaders. 

The new president of Tech had been living the motto of the university, even before he ever knew the phrase that defines it, “Ut Prosim, “That I may serve.”
