InterVarsity alumni - Stuart Holt, Richmond VA

When Stuart Holt arrived on campus at Virginia Polytechnic in 1971, he had been a Christian less than a month. Someone had told him to check out InterVarsity. He thought it was a sports organization. Being on an athletic scholarship, he thought he should see what the group was about. What he found was a fellowship that helped him grow in Christian discipleship and vision. During his time on campus, Stuart was involved in small groups and took leadership roles in the chapter.
