William E. W**e Award
The William E. W**e Award was established in 1957 by the Virginia Tech Alumni Association in memory of William E. W**e, Class of 1904, who was a former rector of the Board of Visitors and Alumni Association president. Following a college-level selection process of candidates nominated by students, faculty, and alumni, each college may put forth one nominee.
