Roanoke Valley Chapter of the Virginia Tech Alumni Association

Hokies! A really great opportunity to be immersed in incredible research being done by Hokies here in the Roanoke Valley!

Join us for an engaging evening exploring how genetic mutations shape brain disorders and how emerging cell and gene therapies may transform the future of neuroscience and medicine.

Whether you’re new to neuroscience or deeply curious about where the field is headed, this program offers a clear, accessible look at the genetics behind brain health — and what comes next.

The in-person event begins at 5 p.m. at 4 Riverside Circle in Roanoke. Registration for in-person or virtual attendance is free, but required. Registration includes an optional gift opportunity to the FBRI Annual Fund.

Thank you to everyone that came out to our Giving Day Flower Arrangement event last night! It was a great hit, and we went home with no extra flowers! We will definitely be doing something similar again!! 💐🌹💐

Lots of beautiful arrangements were designed, stories shared, and beverages enjoyed! A special big shout out to one of our favorite local breweries, Big Lick Brewing Company for hosting us and also the patrons enjoying a night out who graciously donated to our Scholarship fund for making their own bouquets with the last of our flowers!

We look forward to seeing folks at our next event!
