Sporn Awards
The University Sporn Award, made possible by gifts from Dr. and Mrs. Philip J. Sporn and the alumni of Virginia Tech, is presented annually to a teacher of introductory subjects. Students from the freshman and sophomore classes nominate possible recipients, and a committee of students and faculty members make final selections and recommendations to the appropriate deans and the president.
