Virle and Al Payne Lectures
Established in 2000, the Virle and Al Payne Lectures are designed to give voice to ethical issues in religious life with commitment to creative expression, academic excellence, and community service.
The lectures are named for Virle and Al Payne, who were visionary community leaders for more than a half-century through the YMCA, Virginia Tech, and the greater Blacksburg community.
