Our vision, our drive, our determination - these comprise our foundation. We have a vision for computing and can make conjectures on how our society will evolve based on ubiquitous access to technology and information. The Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech is not afraid to be revolutionary and attempt to think outside of the box. We believe this is possible because we have assembled a faculty that resonates these values. The footer to our site states that we build the future exponentially. We make that statement based on the fact that by combining the enthusiastic, skilled students with revolution-minded faculty, we have found an equation for generating ideas, software, and technologies that give us the ability to truly build the future.
