Dear Class of 2011:

From numerous Hokie sporting events to the rigors of challenging academics, we have each created our individual path to where we stand today. Our diverse experiences make us a unique, but very united class. We have successfully completed our freshmen and sophomore years and now embark on our junior year. Over the past two years we have participated in many traditions and legacies that are engrained at Virginia Tech. Hokie spirit engulfs each of us, and we truly know what it means to be a Hokie.

Our class enjoys the distinction of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Virginia Tech ring tradition. As the centennial class, we move forward with the strength of 100 years of traditions and the many events that have made Virginia Tech what it is today.

I encourage each of you to take advantage of this opportunity and participate in this long-standing tradition of the class ring. We have earned the right to wear a piece of Virginia Tech for the rest of our lives. So let,s do it!

We stand united to take on the world. Our time at Virginia Tech is one of a kind and we have impacted this community in so many ways. We, as the Class of 2011, can make a difference and will forge ahead long into the future.
