“We’re Hokies, too!” In an effort to pay respects to those affected by the tragedy at Virginia Tech last week, members of the Arcadia community outfitted themselves in Virginia Tech’s colors, maroon and orange, on Friday, April 20, as part of National Orange and Maroon Effect Day. Virginia Tech's Alumni Association asked the nation to wear orange and maroon on Friday. Arcadia was one of many universities where students, faculty and staff took a moment to come together in a show of support for the Hokies.
