Dr. Charles W. Steger

In a recent article in The Virginia Tech Magazine, Dr. Charles W. Steger, President of the University, spoke about the new corporation: “We created the Virginia Tech Research Corporation (VT-ARC) as an important feature in Virginia Tech’s rise as a world-class research institution. VT-ARC will leverage Virginia Tech research toward solving some of our nation’s most critical challenges in intelligence, cyber and IT, national security, health, and energy. As our affiliate, VT-ARC will partner with us to extend the brand and impact of Virginia Tech in new ways and new places. It is my vision to see VT-ARC as the portal to the power of Virginia Tech for government and industry."
