Gobblerfest, a welcome festival for students, staff, faculty, and community members will be held within the first two weeks of the fall semester. You are invited to take part in this exciting event!
During the first Gobblerfest, more than 12,000 students and community members came to learn what local businesses have to offer, how they could get involved in student organizations, and what volunteer opportunities are in our community. Gobblerfest proved to be a wonderful way to welcome new and returning members of the VT and Blacksburg community to the Hokie neighborhood in a fun and festive atmosphere. Everyone is welcome!
Virginia Tech’s University Unions & Student Activities is once again hosting Gobblerfest, outside of Squires Student Center and the Graduate Life Center, and up College Avenue into the downtown business district. Gobblerfest includes games, food, and prizes, as well as a business expo, VT-Engage volunteer fair, student organization showcase, music, and the Class of 2011 Kickoff Concert and pep rally.
Businesses, VT departments, student organizations, non-profits –everyone is welcome to take part in Gobblerfest.
