“These distinguished alumni of Virginia Tech will bring a wide variety of skillsets and experiences to the Board. I appreciate their deep commitment to the university and our Commonwealth, and I am grateful for their willingness to serve. I look forward to having these highly qualified leaders included on the search committee as Virginia Tech works to identify a successor to President Sands. Finding, vetting, and selecting a new university president is the most consequential of a Board’s responsibilities. These searches must be wide-reaching, thorough, and transparent to maintain public trust throughout the process of identifying candidates for this critical position. I know that these appointees will be integral to fulfilling that duty.”
