At the heart of the project is Hokies interviewing Hokies—largely student-staffed and trained by oral historians, interviewers engage with VT Alumni to learn their history and to make mentoring connections that go beyond the student experience. As we seek to understand why Virginia Tech is top rated in its success in engaging alumni, we highlight the exciting, memorable, historic moments in Hokie lives that have forged strong and enduring connections.

Title A name given to the resource VT Stories Oral History with Rich and Libby Carpenter, November 19, 2016 (Ms2016-015) Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Ms2016-015_RichandLibbyCarpenter Subject The topic of the resource University History Description An account of the resource Although Rich and Libby Carpenter each experienced their own unique version of Virginia Tech, they can both attest to the sense of community that they felt during their time here. Rich Carpenter, class of 1967, did not join the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets until after he had already served in the United States Army, so his college lifestyle was different than those of other cadets. Despite these differences, however, Rich continued to maintain his commitment to the Corps, occupying multiple positions on the Honor Court throughout his undergraduate years, and he still formed lasting relationships with other cadets. Following his undergraduate years, Rich went on to receive his master’s degree from Virginia Tech in 1969, as did Libby Carpenter in 1971 as part of the first group of students to receive a master’s degree from Virginia Tech’s English program. The couple stayed in Blacksburg for many years afterwards, with Rich working for an equity investments and insurance company and Libby teaching at Blacksburg High School. Even after they moved the couple remained connected the Virginia Tech, sending a daughter to study interior design and returning for multiple visits. They also fund scholarships for Virginia Tech students and have served on multiple committees and associations through Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech gave Rich and Libby Carpenter a place to begin their lives and start a family together. They created their home in Blacksburg, and they return with fond memories and pride in the direction the university is going.
