AAD Grad Fest
May 7, 2026

It’s time to toast the Class of 2026 at AAD’s Grad Fest!

If you are graduating in May or are an AAD faculty/staff member, join us to celebrate our new alumni at the College of Architecture, Arts, and Design’s annual Grad Fest.

The FREE event takes place on Thursday, May 7, from 5-7 p.m. at the Hahn Horticulture Garden Marquee. All May graduates, faculty, and staff are invited, and there will be food and drinks (2 tickets per person), live entertainment, photos, and more!

Graduates who attend will receive an exclusive AAD ALUMNI GIFT!

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR THIS FREE EVENT.
Please register by May 1 to ensure we have enough food for all.

Still need to make your Senior Class Gift?
You may do so with registration at checkout. Make a gift to your school or program (suggested amount $5 and $25). With a gift, all grads receive a commemorative Virginia Tech mug, and gifts of $25 receive a graduation cord.

We are looking forward to celebrating our amazing graduates! This event will take place rain or shine and will be held under an open-air pavilion.

If you have questions, please contact Tanya Ridpath, director of alumni relations.

Thank you,
