		The institution’s goal was to promote instruction in agricultural, mechanical, and other useful arts for the citizens of the commonwealth.
		This tremendous respect outside of Blacksburg for the arts, humanities, and social science departments at Virginia Tech follows from the demonstrable innovations in the disciplines of design, public administration, philosophy, international studies, economics, urban affairs, creative writing, and art that were launched during the past four decades because of work begun at this university.
		In 2022, during Virginia Tech’s 150th year, the university’s excellence as a 21st century, world-class institution of higher learning can be attained only if its leaders choose now to cultivate — continuously and carefully — even greater programs, stronger faculties, and better students in the university’s dynamic and diverse arts, humanities and social science disciplines.
