Meet the newest member of the Corps 🐾

Introducing Growley IV, call sign Bedford. Named in honor of the Bedford Boys, Bedford's name carries forward a legacy of courage, service, and unwavering loyalty.
Alt: An adorable lab puppy looks up while sitting at the feet of a line of first year cadets in uniform. Additional info: Bedford will spend the next year completing his initial training and will join cadets on Upper Quad next fall. He will officially report for duty in the fall of 2028 after a year of shadowing Growley III, call sign Stryker. Once Bedford assumes Growley duties in Fall 2028, Stryker will begin his well-deserved retirement and will be cared for by a former cadet handler. Legend says the original Growley was a beloved Depression-era dog cared for by cadets sharing breakfast scraps. He returned to Virginia Tech in 2016 when Echo Company introduced a new furry friend to boost Corps morale and serve as an ambassador for the Corps.A yellow lab puppy walks on a turf football field with a wall and VT logos in the background

Bed bugs may have been with us far longer than we thought. 🪲

New research from Virginia Tech is shedding light on how these urban pests spread across the United States, suggesting the international jetsetting bed bugs of the 90s is an urban myth.
