Скачать или смотреть Virginia Tech: Hokie Gold Legacy - A Tradition Begins

A Virginia Tech Tradition is born. On May 3, 2012, the Inaugural Hokie Gold Legacy "Ring Melt" was held on campus at the Kroehling Advanced Materials foundry, also known as VT FIRE. Six Virginia Tech class rings donated by alumni or their families were melted to create Hokie Gold. Attending this first melt was program founder Jess Fowler '64, along with Jim Flynn '64, both of M company. Members of the Class of 1964 supported Fowler's establishment of the program as the class's 50th-anniversary legacy. One of the ring donors, James F. Johnson '60, was also present at the melt.
The gold refined from the resulting ingot will be incorporated into the upcoming Class of 2014 rings ordered by December 2012. A small portion will be saved to include in the ring melt for the Class of 2015 and will continue for future classes so that a portion of the original Hokie Gold will always be included in all future class rings.
