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 Black Women at VT Oral History Project (Ms1995-026) Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Ms1995-026 Description An account of the resource <p>The Black Women at Virginia Tech History Project, a multi-phase research and education program, involves:</p> <ul> <li>The identification of the first black women--student, staff and faculty--to enter the university.</li> <li>The collection of their narratives of that entry experience.</li> <li>The design and execution of program events to enhance communication, understanding, and relationships within the university's culturally diverse community.</li> </ul> <p>The project will increase knowledge about the women's community, celebrate the racial integration of that community, and provide deeper insight into the issues and opportunities inherent in striving to achieve an open, diverse, and just educational environment. The term "black" is used here to designate those United States citizens who are the descendants of enslaved people, ancestorially residing in the country of approximately 400 years.</p> <p>The three-phase research component of the project got underway fall term, 1994 under the auspice of The Women's Center in collaboration with the University Archive in the University Libraries. Two factors supported The Women's Center's investment of a considerable amount of its limited resources in this project. First, grounded in a philosophy of feminism, it was important that the center's account of history of campus women recognize and document racial diversity. Second, administrative records only began to account for the racial identity of its members in 1985. To begin a study to build an appropriate account of the history of university women, the center and the University Archive undertook archival photographic searches and networking activities.</p> <p>The education effort will involve a wide variety of programs, carried out by campus and community organizations as well as academic departments. Some of the activities will be oral, written, audio-visual, and video-taped presentations, seminars, round table discussions, exhibitions, and in tandem study and actions programs. Study and action programs will forge and sustain diverse coalitions of university members who design and carry out actions to identify and eradicate barrier to cross-racial cooperation and associations in all spheres of the university.</p> <p>Elaine Carter initiated the Black Women's History Project at the Virginia Tech Women's Center in the fall of 1994.</p> Bibliographic Citation A bibliographic reference for the resource.

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.
