Press Releases

Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement on the death of Virginia Tech President Emeritus Charles Steger:

“I was saddened to learn of the passing of Charles Steger. As a man who earned three Virginia Tech degrees and served as his alma mater’s president from 2000 to 2014, he was a Hokie to his core. Under his guidance, the university went from strength to strength, expanding its enrollment, raising its profile in fields such as engineering and medicine, and powering it to the forefront of research. He also faced the horrific events of April 2007 with courage and dignity.

“Working with Charles was always a great experience for me. I offer my condolences to his family and the Virginia Tech community on the loss of this great educator and leader.”
