Former Virginia Tech President T. Marshall Hahn died Sunday at the age of 89.
Hahn served as the leader of the school from 1962 until 1974 and oversaw the transition of Tech from an all-male military college to a university that accepted students outside of the military as well as women.
He oversaw an era of significant growth on campus with 25 new buildings and 30 new undergraduate programs, according to a news release from Virginia Tech. And he is often credited with transforming Tech and Blacksburg into what they are today.
“It was under Marshall’s leadership that Virginia Tech evolved from a southern land grant college into a nationally renowned university,” said Ray Smoot, a lifelong friend of Hahn’s who interned in Hahn’s office as a graduate student and eventually became a vice president for administration at Tech and CEO of the Virginia Tech Foundation.
