DOD selects Tech for Fellowship Program

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is tapping Virginia Tech to host a revamped fellowship program for senior military officers. The Senior Service College Fellowship helps train and develop senior level civilians for military leadership roles.

In response to this news, U.S. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement:

“Virginia Tech’s traditions of service to our country date all the way back to the school’s founding. In May, it was an honor to see this service on display at the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets Change of Command ceremony.

“This rich history and the success of service-related programs at Virginia Tech resonate with federal and military officials alike. With DoD’s selection of Virginia Tech for this new fellowship opportunity, Virginia Tech will continue to be a prime educational experience for aspiring military leaders. This recognition is long overdue.

“I commend DoD for developing closer ties with Virginia Tech through this fellowship program.”
