Immersions in the Territory

  • Pluriversity Week

The visiting scholar Yunuen Torres Ascencio, students, and professors went on trips to immerse themselves in the region. Based in the lands of Monacan and Tutelo peoples, Virginia Tech is surrounded by the geographies of the Appalachians, with hills, lakes, cascades, and caverns as the landscape.
