Marshall Hahn’s Gift to the College
Marshall Hahn, former Virginia Tech President and CEO of Georgia-Pacific, has generously donated a unique gift to the college. Hahn, an avid hunter who has traveled the world, presented the college with over 30 items from his vast taxidermy collection. “The expertly preserved animals, including North American species such as black and brown bear, cougar, elk, and turkey, now grace many of the offices and common areas in Cheatham Hall,” said Eric Hallerman, department head of fisheries and wildlife sciences, who received the gift on behalf of the college. Each specimen comes with its own story, which Hahn will share on an upcoming visit to the college. Hahn also donated items from his African collection to the Virginia Museum of Natural History in Martinsville.
