The BSE 100th Anniversary Committee is working on several projects for the year-long Centennial Celebration; for example, we have one group focused on documenting departmental history and accomplishments and another group focused on engaging departmental alumni in the celebration and beyond. 

If you would like to participate in the planning or executing of any of the activities, or if you have ideas for activities, please contact committee co-chairs Cully Hession (chession@vt.edu) or Mary Leigh Wolfe (mlwolfe@vt.edu).

We would love to have you on the team!
