Program Updates for 2026-27

In evaluating Virginia Tech's Living-Learning Program portfolio, the university has made the decision to conclude Lavender House, Rhizome, Orion, and Ujima at the end of the 2025-26 academic year. This decision was made with thoughtful reflection and care, recognizing the meaningful experiences and connections these communities have fostered. We remain committed to strengthening academic programming and creating inclusive, enriching, and academically grounded opportunities for all students.
