*The Institute for Advanced Learning and Research
The Institute for Advanced Learning and Research (IALR) is a catalyst for economic and community transformation through strategic research, advanced learning programs, advanced technology, and community outreach. Strategic research centers, ranging from motorsports engineering to unmanned systems and robotics, are located at the IALR. From these centers flow academic programs in both the undergraduate and graduate arenas through IALR's academic partners, Virginia Tech, Averett University, and Danville Community College.

The Institute's state-of-the-art facility represents the tangible presence of high-technology in Southside and was designed to emphasize imagination and dreams. Virginia Tech's partnership with the Virginia Tobacco Commission, community and business leaders in Southside, and the subsequent establishment of the IALR, that came as a result of that partnership, was recently honored with the 2007 C. Peter Magrath Community Engagement Award presented by the National Association of STate Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC).
