HokieTalks are hour-long conversations that give Hokies an exciting insider look at current research that is making a difference. The talks are short and engaging, and attendees are encouraged to ask questions.

There is no charge to participate in our HokieTalks program, however there is an opportunity to make a gift to Virginia Tech’s COVID-19 Fund for those who would like to help accelerate ongoing research and testing operations.
