Student Affairs Alumni Aspire! Awards

The Aspire! Awards were established in 2011 as a way for Student Affairs to recognize and celebrate the Virginia Tech students who embody our Aspirations for Student Learning. In 2013, we began to recognize faculty and staff who live and teach the Aspirations in their work. In 2015, we were proud to present the inaugural Alumni Aspire! Award for embracing UT PROSIM as a way of life.


The Student Affairs Alumni Aspire! Award is presented each spring to a Virginia Tech alumnus who represents our hopes for all our students – that they live lives of curiosity, integrity, innovation, leadership, success, fulfillment, and that they continue to embody the university’s motto, Ut Prosim, as a way of life.

    Flash back ten years to 2007. Robert and Kara Julius were about to graduate from Virginia Tech, Robert with a degree in Business Management, and Kara with a degree is Music. Both were involved and engaged in the university community and held leadership roles in their Greek organizations. Kara had been an orientation leader and still speaks fondly of the new students and colleagues she met and how much fun she had that summer.
