2024-25 Year in Review
Thank you to all of our supporters for making the 2024-25 academic year a huge success!
This year, we sponsored several free guest lectures from professors and authors, including an in-person talk by Dr. Hilary Green of Davidson College and several online lectures recorded and posted on our YouTube channel.
In addition, we printed an updated Civil War Driving Tour brochure; presented an educational program to more than 600 elementary students; led a guided trip to Gettysburg; provided grants to five Virginia Tech students to fund summer internships; awarded research grants to visiting Civil War scholars, and so much more!
Highlights of the 2025 Civil War Weekend, attended by more than 120 guests, included a lecture by Pulitzer-prize winning author Ilyon Woo and the announcement of a major donation to Virginia Tech from speaker Sue Heth Bell - read the details here: https://news.vt.edu/articles/2025/04/univlib-Wharton-Collection.html
