The "VPI in World War One" project, a collaboration between the Department of History and the University Libraries, is an online project and database (http://vpiworldwarone.lib.vt.edu/) dedicated to the lives of Virginia Polytechnic Institute (today called Virginia Tech) alumni who served in the First World War. A week-long digital exhibit featuring research about these VPI WWI soldiers by Virginia Tech students and faculty will be on display in Newman Library during the week of November 7-11, leading up to Veterans' Day. An exhibit reception will be held November 10 at 11:00 a.m. First-year History majors from the Department of History First Year Experience course taught by Dr. Trudy Harrington Becker will be on hand to talk about their research on the VPI students and alumni who served in the First World War.
