'''Institut Politeknik dan Universitas Negeri Virginia''' (dalam [[bahasa Inggris]]: ''Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University'', atau yang biasa lebih dikenal sebagai '''Virginia Tech''' (juga disingkat ''VPI''), adalah sebuah [[universitas]] [[Institut teknologi|politeknik]] di [[Blacksburg, Virginia]], [[ASAmerika Serikat]]. Meskipun sekolah ini komprehensif memiliki banyak fakultas, program-program [[pertanian]], [[teknik]], [[arsitektur]], [[kehutanan]], dan [[kedokteran hewan]]nya dianggap sebagai yang paling kuat. Perguruan tinggi ini juga merupakan salah satu dari segelintir universitas di seluruh Amerika Serikat dengan [[Korps Kadet Virginia Tech|korps kadet]] (komponen pendidikan militer penuh waktu) dalam sebuah universitas sipil yang lebih luas (lainnya antara lain adalah [[Universitas Texas A&M]] dan [[Universitas Norwich]]).
 
Selain program-program riset dan akademiknya, Virginia Tech terkenal karena kampusnya dan lokasinya di [[Lembah New River]] di [[Virginia]] barat daya di [[Pegunungan Blue Ridge]], bagian dari [[Pegunungan Appalachia]]. Nama universitas ini di masyarakat belakangan ini telah mencuat dalam tahun-tahun belakangan dengan keberhasilan program [[American football|footballfootballnya]]nya dan penembakan di [[Penembakan di Virginia Tech|Virginia Tech]], [[penembakan liar]] paling berdarah dalam sejarah Amerika.
 
== Sejarah ==
Pada 1872, [[Majelis Umum (Virginia)|Majelis Umum]] Virginia membeli tanah dan gedung milik sebuah sekolah [[Methodis]] kecil yang bernama ''Institut Olin dan Preston'' di pedesaan di Kabupaten Montgomery dengan dana federal yang disediakan oleh [[Akta Morrill]]. Pemerintah negara bagian mendirikan sebuah lembaga yang baru di tempat itu, sebuah [[akademi militer]] yang tanahnya diberikan oleh pemerintah, yang dinamai '''Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College'''.
 
Ketika [[John M. McBryde]] menjadi presidennya (1891-1907), sekolah ini menata kembali program-program akademiknya menjadi sebuah perguruan tinggi empat tahun yang tradisional. Pada 1896 namanya pun diubah menjadi '''Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute'''. Bagian "Agricultural and Mechanical College" dari nama ini kemudian dihapuskan, meskipun namanya baru resmi diganti menjadi '''Virginia Polytechnic Institute''' pada 1944 sebagai bagian dari penggabungannya dengan apa yang kini dikenal sebagai [[Universitas Radford]] -- yang—yang hanya berlangsung sebentar. VPI memperoleh akreditasi penuh pada 1923, dan persyaratan untuk ikut serta dalam [[Korps Kadet Virginia Tech|Korps Kadet]] dikurangi dari empat tahun menjadi dua tahun pada tahun itu juga (untuk laki-laki saja; untuk perempuan, ketika mereka mulai mendaftar pada 1920-an, tak pernah diwajibkan bergabung).

Presiden Universitas ini, [[T. Marshall Hahn]], yang masa jabatannya berlangsung dari 1962 hingga 1974, bertanggung jawab atas perubahan-perubahan yang menjadikan Virginia Tech sebuah institusi modern. Penggabungan dengan Radford dihentikan pada 1964, dan pada 1966, sekolah ini menghapuskan kewajiban latihan militer dua tahun bagi mahasiswanya. Pada 1973, mahasiswi diizinkan bergabung dengan Korpsnya. Virginia Tech adalah sekolah pertama di AS yang membuka sayap militernya bagi perempuan. Salah astu misi Hahn yang paling kontroversial hanya tercapai sebagian. Ia mempunyai keinginan untuk mengubah nama VPI menjadi '''Universitas Negeri Virginia''', untuk mencerminkan status yang telah dicapainya sebagai sebuah lembaga pendidikan umum penuh dan universitas riset. Sebagain bagian dari langkah ini, Virginia Tech akan mengambil alih institusi lainnya yang juga mendapatkan tanahnya dari negara bagian, sebuah perguruan tinggi historis kulit hitam di [[Ettrick, Virginia]], selatan [[Richmond, Virginia|Richmond]], yang saat itu dinamai '''Virginia State College'''. Rencana ini gagal, dan sekolah itu akhirnya menjadi [[Universitas Negeri Virginia]]. Sebagai kompromi, VPI menambahkan pada namanya "dan Universitas Negeri" pada 1970, sehingga nama resminya sekarang menjadi '''Institut Politeknik dan Universitas Negeri Virginia'''. Pada awal 1990-an, sekolah ini diam-diam mengesahkan nama '''Virginia Tech''' untuk digunakan secara resmi sebagai nama ekuivalen dengan nama lengkapnya VPI&SU. Banyak dokumen sekolah yang kini menggunakan nama yang lebih singkat ini, meskipun ijazah dan transkripnya masih menggunakan nama resminya secara lengkap. Demikian pula, singkatan '''VT''' lebih umum sekarang daripada VPI atau VPI&SU, dan muncul di mana-mana, dari seragam atletik, hingga nama domain internet universitasnya, ''vt.edu''.

The university's academic community has coined a word associated with the distribution of old test and study materials, referred to as "[[koofer]]s".<ref>http://courses.cs.vt.edu/~cs2604/SummerI_2003/Notes/KooferPolicy.pdf</ref> <ref>http://ei.cs.vt.edu/~cs1704/fall.98/koofers/FinalExamKoofer.pdf</ref>
 
== Catatan kaki ==
On January 3, 2007 Virginia Tech along with [[Carilion Health System]] announced the creation of a new medical school that will be a joint venture between the two organizations. The first class is scheduled to be admitted in either 2009 or 2010. The new medical school will have approximately 40 students per class, making it a very small medical school. It will be located in [[Roanoke]] next to the Carilion Health System hospital.

{{main|Virginia Tech campus}}
 
[[Image:VT Burruss Hall.jpg|thumb|240px|right|Burruss Hall, signature building on the Virginia Tech campus.]]
The [[Virginia Tech campus]] is located in [[Blacksburg, Virginia]]. The central campus is roughly bordered by Prices Fork Road to the northwest, Plantation Drive to the west, Main Street to the east, and 460-bypass to the south, though it has several thousand acres beyond the central campus. The university has established branch campus centers in Hampton Roads ([[Virginia Beach, Virginia|Virginia Beach]]), the National Capital Region ([[Falls Church, Virginia|Falls Church]] - [[Alexandria, Virginia]]), [[Richmond, Virginia|Richmond]], [[Roanoke, Virginia|Roanoke]], and the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center in [[Abingdon, Virginia|Abingdon]].
 
On the Blacksburg campus, the majority of the buildings incorporate [[Hokie Stone]] as building material. Hokie Stone is a medley of different colored limestone, often including dolomite. Each block of Hokie Stone is some combination of gray, brown, black, pink, orange, and maroon. The limestone is mined from various quarries in Southwestern Virginia, Tennessee, and Alabama, one of which has been operated by the university since the 1950s. An example of architecture incorporating Hokie Stone is Torgersen Bridge, a relatively new building on Virginia Tech's campus.[[Image:TorgersenBridge.jpg|thumb|Torgersen Bridge|200px|left|Torgersen Bridge, an example of architecture using Hokie Stone.]]
 
Virginia Tech also has one of the top dining programs in the country; it is currently ranked #2 by the Princeton Review. It has seven dining centers which included Squires food court ([[Au Bon Pain]] & [[Sbarro]]), Owens Food Court, Hokie Grill ([[Chick-fil-A]], [[Pizza Hut]], [[Cinnabon]]), D2 & DXpress, Shultz & Shultz Express, Deets Place, and the high end West End Market. Virginia Tech also has a catering center, Personal Touch Catering.
 
== Athletics ==
{{main|Virginia Tech Hokies}}
 
[[Image:VT Emblem.gif|left]]
Virginia Tech's sports teams are called the [[Hokies]], except for the swim team which uses a variant ("H<sub>2</sub>Okies", a play on the chemical formula for [[water (molecule)|water]]). Tech teams participate in the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]]'s [[Division I]] in the [[Atlantic Coast Conference]], which the school joined in 2004 after leaving the [[Big East Conference|Big East]]. Along with all other ACC schools, Tech's [[American football|football]] team competes in [[Division I#Division I-Bowl Subdivision|Division I FBS]], the higher of two levels of Division I competition in that sport.
 
The word "Hokies," which originated from the ''[[Old Hokie]]'' spirit yell, has come to replace the term "Fighting Gobblers" to refer to the sports team, fans, students, or alumni, although the former is the official usage. The word "Hokies" originated in the 1890s; see [[Hokies]] for more information. The school mascot is the [[Hokie Bird]], a [[turkey]]-like creature. The teams were originally known as the "Fighting Gobblers," and the turkey motif was retained despite the name change.
 
The stylized '''VT''' (the abbreviation for '''Virginia Tech''') is used primarily by the athletic department as a symbol for Virginia Tech athletic teams. The "athletic VT" symbol is [[trademark]]ed by the university and appears frequently on licensed merchandise.
 
During the early years of VPI, a rivalry developed between it and [[Virginia Military Institute]]. This rivalry developed into the original "Military Classic of the South," an annual football game between VMI and VPI usually held on Thanksgiving Day in [[Roanoke, Virginia]]. That series ended after the 1984 season; VMI had elected to play at the [[Division I#Division I-Championship Subdivision|Division I-AA]] level, now Division I FCS, after the NCAA's 1978 divisional split for football, and the schools' wide disparity in size had led to a similar imbalance in results. Another long-standing rivalry, with the [[University of Virginia]], strengthened concurrently with Tech's growth spurt of the 1960s and 1970s; the [[Virginia Cavaliers]] are now the [[Hokies]]' primary program-wide athletic rival. The two schools compete in a year-long competition including all varsity sports, for the "Commonwealth Challenge."
 
Virginia Tech's [[fight song]], ''[[Tech Triumph]]'', was written in 1919 and remains in use today. ''Tech Triumph'' is played at sporting events by both the Virginia Tech band, [[The Marching Virginians]], and the Corps of Cadets' band, the [[Highty Tighties]]. The ''[[Old Hokie]]'' spirit yell, used since 1896, is familiar to all Virginia Tech fans.
 
===Virginia Tech Football===
{{main|Virginia Tech Hokies football}}
 
Virginia Tech's football team plays home games in [[Lane Stadium]], considered one of the loudest stadiums in the country and recognized in 2005 by rivals.com as having the best homefield advantage in the country.<ref>[http://www.rivals.com/content.asp?SID=1014&CID=444097 Lane Statium rating by Rivals.com]</ref> The team has a long history of a wide variety of [[Lane Stadium#Traditions|traditions]] that foster increased participation by the fans, the corps of cadets, and the bands.
 
Head coach [[Frank Beamer]] has become one of the winningest currently active head coaches in Division I-A football with 178 wins following the 2005 season. The Hokies currently have the fifth longest bowl streak in the country, having participated in bowl games in each of the last 13 seasons. Since the 1995 season, the Hokies have finished with a top-10 ranking four times, won four conference championships (three [[Big East Conference|Big East]] and one [[Atlantic Coast Conference|ACC]]), and played once for the national championship, losing to [[Florida State University]] 46-29 in the 2000 [[Sugar Bowl]]. Annually, Virginia Tech plays its traditional rival, the [[University of Virginia]], for the [[Commonwealth Cup]].
 
===Virginia Tech Men's Basketball===
{{main|Virginia Tech Hokies men's basketball}}
 
Virginia Tech's men's [[basketball]] team has seen a resurgence of fan support since the arrival of coach [[Seth Greenberg]] in 2003-04 and its entry into the [[Atlantic Coast Conference|ACC]] in 2004-05. Prior to Coach Greenberg's arrival in Blacksburg, the Virginia Tech men had not had a winning season since the 1995-1996 season when they received a bid to the [[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship|NCAA tournament]], and the team did not even make the [[Big East]] tournament its first three seasons in the conference. Greenberg's squad finally made the Big East tournament in 2003-04, then a year later scored their first postseason berth in nine years when they made the [[National Invitational Tournament|NIT]] in 2004-05 as a first-year ACC school. In 2006-07, the team finished with a 10-6 record in the ACC and 22-12 record overall, earning its first NCAA tournament berth in 11 years, and reaching the NCAA second round before losing to [[Southern Illinois University|Southern Illinois]].
 
===Virginia Tech Women's Basketball===
 
Virginia Tech's women's basketball team, led by coach [[Beth Dunkenberger]], is a fixture in postseason play, having received a berth to the [[NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship|NCAA tournament]] each season from 2003 to 2006. Virginia Tech's women have been in postseason play every year since the 1997-98 season, [[Bonnie Henrickson]]'s first season as the head coach of the Hokies, earning seven NCAA berths and three [[National Invitational Tournament|NIT]] appearances during that stretch.
 
Both basketball teams play their home games in [[Cassell Coliseum]].
 
===Virginia Tech Baseball===
 
Virginia Tech's recently retired [[College baseball|baseball]] coach, [[Chuck Hartman]], finished his career as the fourth winningest coach in Division I baseball history with a 1,444-816-8 record, including a 961-591-8 mark in his 28 seasons at Tech. There have been recent reports Hartman has been pursuing Wellesley, MA prodigy Eric Rosenberg, who has refused to comment on the rumor.
 
== Affiliated institutions ==
The [[Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine]], founded in 1978, is a separate institution on the same campus, funded by the Commonwealth of Virginia and the state of Maryland and jointly operated by VT and the [[University of Maryland, College Park|University of Maryland]]. VMRCVM and VT jointly operate an equine center in [[Leesburg, Virginia]], and VMRCVM has a small operation on the University of Maryland's [[College Park, Maryland]] campus.
 
In 2003, a school of [[osteopathic medicine]] called the [[Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine|Edward Via Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine]] (VCOM) opened in the [http://www.vtcrc.com/generalinformation/index.htm Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center,] an office park adjacent to and owned and operated by the university as a local business incubator. VCOM is incorporated as a private, non-profit institution with no state interest, but it is very closely affiliated with Virginia Tech on an operational level.
 
In 2002, a biomedical engineering program, called the School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences (SBES), was created as a cooperative venture between Virginia Tech and [[Wake Forest University]]. SBES offers opportunities to undergraduates and grants M.S. and [[Ph.D.]] degrees in [[biomedical engineering]].
 
Virginia Tech has recently developed a relationship with the [[University of Richmond School of Law|T.C. Williams School of Law]] at the [[University of Richmond]] located in [[Richmond, Virginia]]. The relationship consists of a joint degree program between the VT College of Science and Richmond Law, which allows a student entering VT to earn both a [[Bachelor of Science|B.S.]] from VT and a [[Juris Doctor|J.D.]] from Richmond in a total of six years.
 
The [[Virginia Bioinformatics Institute]] (VBI), a premier public [[bioinformatics]]. [[computational biology]], and [[systems biology]] research facility, was opened on the Blacksburg campus of Virginia Tech in [[2003]]. It houses nearly two-hundred employees, multiple supercomputing clusters, and several [[DNA sequencer|sequencers]], including a massively-parallel high-throughput sequencer from [[454 Life Sciences]]. VBI receives millions of dollars of private and public grants yearly for research that runs the gamut from [[microbiology]] through human health.
 
The Virginia Tech Center for European Studies and Architecture (CESA) is Virginia Tech's European campus center and base for operations and support of its programs in the region surrounding [[Riva San Vitale]], a small village in the [[canton]] [[Ticino]] in southern [[Switzerland]]. Housed in the 250 year old [[Villa]] Maderni, the Virginia Tech Center for European Studies and Architecture provides a varying degree of academic programs for the undergraduate and graduate students of Virginia Tech. The main offering of the center is its student residence program. In this program, students live in [[Riva San Vitale]] and attend classes in the [[Villa]] Maderni learning facilities and participate in field trips around [[Europe]] that pertain to the current lessons of the program. Other offerings of the center includes summer study abroad programs.
