VIRGINIA TECH

Milestone for Service Campaign

Virginia Tech is halfway to its goal of 300,000 hours of community service by students, faculty and staff to honor the 32 people slain by a student gunman on campus in April.

University officials announced yesterday that they have received pledges for more than 150,000 hours of service since the VT-Engage campaign started Oct. 16. Each student, faculty and staff member is being asked to perform 10 hours of community service.

Alumni have pledged to match the service hours to honor those killed April 16 by Seung Hui Cho.
