And, we are sad to have to say goodbye. It's been a pleasure having each of you in our classes, and we wish you all the best as you move into your next chapter.

🎓✨ Congrats to our grads!! 34 amazing international students completed their programs at the Language and Culture Institute this spring—15 from our Intensive English Program and 19 from AdvantageVT. During the ceremony, we also recognized 13 outstanding achievement award winners and were deeply inspired by our incredible student speakers! We finished the celebration with a delicious Cinco de Mayo-themed lunch. These graduates are now ready to pursue their dreams at Virginia Tech and beyond!

LCI students and family got into the Halloween spirit this week during a Movie Matinee viewing of ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’. They put their listening skills to the test during film, which explored an interesting perspective on the different ways in which Halloween and Christmas should, or should not, be celebrated.
