Administration
Letter from the Vice President
In and out of the classroom, Information Technology at Virginia Tech (IT) is dedicated to learning and discovery, providing the necessary tools and infrastructure
to support students, the faculty and staff, and other members of our university community.
To learn more about IT services, view www.computing.vt.edu.
Among the initiatives that have helped us better support learning and discovery are:
- Active support for National LambdaRail, a transcontinental advanced communications network infrastructure that enables high performance networking for research and for regional development.
- High performance computing, with System X positioning Virginia Tech in the top ranks of global universities.
- The Graduate Education Development Institute, a program that extends the Faculty Development Institute to ensure that graduate students engage digital technologies to enhance student learning.
- The Virginia Tech Certification Authority, issuing trustworthy digital certificates for conducting university business online in a secure environment.
These and other initiatives along with continuing critical support for communications and computing can be explored through the Vice President's Annual Report and the Information Technology Strategic Plan.
I welcome your comments and questions on our programs. Or contact our webmaster for issues regarding this site.
Sincerely,
Erv Blythe
Vice President for Information Technology
