This event is made possible through our Intelligence Community Centers for Academic Excellence (IC CAE) grant and our Academic Affiliates Program (AAP). We are excited to host Dr. Aaron Weiner, the Director for Advanced Systems & Technology (AS&T) at the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) for our keynote where he will discuss opportunities and challenges for the agency.

As in past years, the colloquium will highlight our student’s research and experiential learningprograms, and will include presentations and posters from students across multiple departmentsand colleges at Virginia Tech. In addition to highlighting the achievements of our outstandingstudents and their faculty mentors, we will be hosting a series of roundtables so that studentshave an opportunity to engage directly with some of our industry and government sponsors.
