Uhlelo lweHokie Gold Legacy luvumela iVirginia Tech Alumni ukunikela ngezindandatho zesigaba ezincibilikisiwe ukudala igolide ukuze lisetshenziswe emasondweni asezingeni elizayo - isiko elixhumanisa nesikhathi esedlule, samanje nekusasa.
UTravis "URusty" Untersuber ugcwele imizwa njengoba ekhuluma ngoYise, indandatho yokuthweswa isithungu kukayise ka-1942, indandatho encane kanina kanye nethuba lokungezelela kwifa lomndeni eVirginia Tech. Ezinyangeni eziyisithupha ezedlule, yena nodadewabo babengazi ukuthi benzeni ngezindandatho zabazali abangasekho. Ngemuva kwalokho, ngengozi, i-untsuber yakhumbula uhlelo lwe-hokie Gold Legacy, oluvumela amalungu e-alumni noma omndeni ka-alumni ukunikela ngezindandatho zeklasi, ancibilikise phansi ukudala ama-hokie golide futhi afake amasongo ekilasi elizayo. Kwavela ingxoxo yomndeni futhi bavuma ukujoyina uhlelo. "Ngiyazi ukuthi lolu hlelo lukhona futhi ngiyazi ukuthi sinendandatho," kusho uWinterzuer. "Ezinyangeni eziyisithupha kuphela ezedlule ababehlangene." Ngasekupheleni kukaNovemba, u-Entestuber washayela amahora angama-15 avela edolobheni lakubo e-Davenport, iowa, eRichmond ukuhambela umndeni ngeholide lokubonga. Ube esevakashela eBlacksburg ukuze ahambele umcimbi wokuncibilika kwendandatho eVtfire Kroemling Advanced Izinto zokwakha eVirginia Tech Campus. Umkhosi wemiklomelo, obanjwe noNovemba 29, ubanjelwe minyaka yonke kusukela ngo-2012 futhi wawubanjwa ngonyaka owedlule, yize kungukuphela komongameli besigaba sabangu-2022 ababekhona ngenxa yemikhawulo ehlobene nemikhosi yeCoronavirus ngenxa yezikhungo. Lesi siko eliyingqayizivele lokuxhuma okwedlule nekusasa laqala ngo-1964, lapho ama-cadets amabili avela enkampanini m yeVirginia Tech Cadets-jesse Fowler noJim Flynn - bahlongoza lo mbono. ULaura Wedin, umqondisi ohambisana nomfundi we-Alumni kanye neWoung Alumni, axhumanisa uhlelo ukuqoqa izindandatho ezivela ku-alumni abafuna ukuba amasongo abo ancibilikile futhi amatshe ancishisiwe. Iphinde ilandelele amafomu okunikela kanye nomnikazi we-ring bios bese ithumela isiqinisekiso se-imeyili lapho kutholwa indandatho ethunyelwe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umshado uhlele umcimbi wokuncibilika wegolide, ohlanganisa i-almanac yamacilongo akhombisa unyaka lapho indandatho yegolide yancibilika phansi. Izindandatho ezinikelwe zithunyelwa ekhasini lomphakathi le-alumnus noma i-alumnae, bese kuba yilungu lamanje lekomidi Design Consct lidlulisela ngakunye kwalawo ma-alumnunk noma athi igama le-alumnus noma i-alumnae noma umlingani owayekade egqoke indandatho kanye nonyaka wokufunda. Ngaphambi kokubeka indandatho ibe yinto ye-cylindrical.
Izinduna zikaZuber zaletha amasongo amathathu okufanele ancibilikiswe phansi - indandatho yekilasi likayise, indandatho encane kanina kanye nomkakhe uDoris Ring. U-Untersuber nomkakhe bashada ngo-1972, ngawo lowo nyaka waphothula iziqu. Ngemuva kokushona kukayise, indandatho kayise wanikezwa udadewabo uKaethe ngunina, futhi uKaethe ungaphandle wavuma ukunikela ngendandatho uma kunenhlekelele. Ngemuva kokushona kukanina, indandatho encane kanina yashiyelwa umkakhe uDoris Ungathuli, owavuma ukunikela ngendandatho ecaleni. Ubaba we-Unteruber wafika eVirginia Tech emfundazweni yebhola ngo-1938, wayeyi-cadet eVirginia Tech futhi wakhonza empini ngemuva kokuthola iziqu enjiniyela bezolimo. Uyise noMama bashada ngo-1942, futhi indandatho encane yasebenza njengendandatho yokuzibandakanya. U-Untersuber waphinde wanikela nalo i-Class Class ngomnyaka wakhe wama-50 aphothula eVirginia Tech ngonyaka olandelayo. Kodwa-ke, indandatho yakhe yayingeyona enye yamasongo ayisishiyagalombili ancibilikisiwe. Esikhundleni salokho, amacebo e-Virginia Tech wokugcina indandatho yakhe "kwisikhathi se-Capsule" eyakhelwe eduze kwehholo lama-burroughts njengengxenye yomgubho we-University's 150th Cubile.
"Sinethuba lokusiza abantu bacabange ngekusasa futhi benze umthelela, futhi bacabange ukuthi abantu bacabange ngemibuzo enjengokuthi, 'Ngingayisekela kanjani icala?' futhi 'ngiqhubeka kanjani ifa?' "kusho u-Untersuber. "Uhlelo lweGokie Gold lusemibili. Kuyaqhubeka nesiko futhi kubheke phambili ekuboneni ukuthi senza kanjani indandatho enkulu yezolimo ngaphambi kokuba sisebenzele kuMkhandlu Wezolimo futhi manje. Namuhla. 2023 Lapho nje indandatho igcwalisiwe, i-ebethelwe ithathwe, lapho inqubo yonke ingaphezulu ye-Alan Drushitz, uSihlalo weKomidi odonswayo odonswayo odonswayo ngama-williamsburg, i-Virginia, ozophothula iziqu ezingama-2023 Iziqu zobunjiniyela bemishini kanye nesayensi yamakhompiyutha, amagiya avikelayo anodonswayo futhi asebenzise ama-pliers ukuphakamisa okubaleka esithandweni somlilo. Ube esethela igolide eliwuketshezi ekubumbeni, ukuvumela ukuqina kubha yegolide encane exande. "Ngicabanga ukuthi kupholile," kusho uHardy ngesiko. "Ikilasi ngalinye lishintsha ukwakheka kwalo kwendandatho, ngakho-ke ngibona sengathi isiko ngokwalo lihlukile futhi linomlingiswa walo olonke elinikelwe iziqu enikelwe ngokuthile lapho ikilasi ngalinye lise lihluke kakhulu. Sikuthanda futhi ngijabule ngayo. Sikuthanda. Sithokozile ngakho. Senzeni ku-forry futhi ube yingxenye yako. "
Izindandatho zincibilika kuma-1,800 degrees Fahrenheit kanye negolide eliwuketshezi lithululelwa isikhunta esingunxande. Izithombe ngoncedo lwe-Kristina Franusich, Virginia Tech.
Ibha yegolide emasondweni ayisishiyagalombili anesisindo esingu-6.315 ounces. Umshado wabe esethumela ibha yegolide eBelfort, okhiqizwa amasongo ekilasi le-tech eVirginia tech, lapho abasebenzi becwengekile khona igolide futhi balisebenzisa ukuze baphonse izindandatho ze-Tech Christian zonyaka olandelayo. Baphinde bagcine inani elincane kakhulu kusuka kuncibilike ngakunye ukuze kufakwe indandatho kuncibilika eminyakeni yesikhathi esizayo. Namuhla, zonke izindandatho zegolide ziqukethe u-0.33% "HOKI GOLD". Ngenxa yalokhu, umfundi ngamunye uxhumeke ngokomfanekiso kwi-Virginia Tech Graduate. Izithombe namavidiyo athathwe futhi athunyelwa kwabezindaba zenhlalo, ukwethula abangane, ofunda nabo kanye nomphakathi esikweni abambalwa ababebonakale bemaziyo. Okubaluleke kakhulu, kusihlwa kubangele ukuba abafundi ababekhona ukuba bacabange ngama-legaties abo esikhathi esizayo nokubamba iqhaza kwekusasa emasongweni abo ekilasi. "Nakanjani ngifuna ukuthola ikomidi ndawonye futhi ngenze okuthile okumnandi njengokuya ku-wavery futhi futhi nginikele ngendandatho," kusho uHardy. "Mhlawumbe kufana nomkhosi wokugubha iminyaka engama-50. Angazi ukuthi kuzoba yindandatho yami, kepha uma kunjalo, ngizojabula futhi ngithemba ukuthi singenza into enjalo." Le yindlela enhle yokuvuselela indandatho. Ngicabanga ukuthi kuzoba ngaphansi kokuthi "Angisakudingi lokhu" futhi kufana nokuthi "ngifuna ukuba yingxenye yesiko elikhudlwana," uma lokho kunengqondo. Ngiyazi ukuthi lokhu kuzoba ukukhetha okukhethekile kunoma ngubani okucabangayo. "
I-Antseuber, umkakhe kanye nodadewethu beqiniso bakholelwa ukuthi lesi kungaba isinqumo esihle kakhulu emndenini wabo, ikakhulukazi ngemuva kokuthi abane babo babenengxoxo yokuzwela uBurginia Technis ezimpilweni zabazali babo. Bakhala ngemuva kokukhuluma ngomthelela omuhle. "Kwakunokomzwelo, kepha kwakungekho manqikanqika," kusho uWinterzuber. "Lapho sesibonile esingakwenza, sazi ukuthi kwakuyinto esasidinga ukuyenza - futhi sasifuna ukukwenza."
IVirginia Tech ibonisa umthelela ngesibonelelo sayo se-Global Land Grant, ithuthukisa ukuthuthukiswa okuqhubekayo kwemiphakathi yethu eCommonwealth of Virginia nasemhlabeni jikelele.
