Club History
Tradition
The University Club was
established in 1925 by a handful of Virginia Tech faculty members. In
December of that year the first set of officers and board members were
elected and the concept of the University Club came to life. In June 1929,
construction began on its current clubhouse located on Otey Street on
the beautiful Virginia Tech campus. Soon
the Club boasted 125 members and has continued to grow throughout the
years. Since the founding, the membership has included Nobel Prize winners,
University Presidents, corporate and civic leaders, and distinguished
artists and professors.
