The theme of the reception is “Recording Today’s Memories.” Visitors will have the opportunity to write journal entries and use the Division of Student Affairs photo booth from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Photos and journal entries will be put on display within the exhibit alongside the gallery pieces. Cake and punch will be served from 1 to 3 p.m. A more formal reception will begin at 4 p.m. and will feature local foods.

Squires Student Center was built in 1937 and has been a center for the Virginia Tech community for the past 75 years. During this time, the building experienced two major renovations and was named after John Houston Squires, who donated $10,000 toward the building’s construction. Squires was a Class of 1905 Virginia Tech alumnus and distinguished scientist.
