Molly Wilson, the director of student recruitment in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and her husband James Wilson, extension apiculturist in the Department of Entomology, met on campus and fell in love. They are now married and are growing their family here in Blacksburg.
[00:00:01] >> I'm Molly Wilson and I'm James Wilson and this is our Hokie Love story. We had originally met when we were taking a class when I was a senior biochemistry student and James was a first year master's student. A couple years later we started dating and we studied a lot of different bugs between the two of us and got to the point where we got married. [00:00:26] And here we are. I thought it was kind of interesting, in hindsight, that there evidently were a few people around that thought Molly and I should meet very early on before we ever did. People in our department, people higher up in the college that I'd only met like maybe once or twice were thinking, ' you should meet Molly.' Those two tall bug people, they should get together. [00:00:43] And so it was a pretty neat, sort of felt like it was destined. Now the greatest thing is that you know we work up the hill and down the hill from each other. Really neat opportunity that we get to spend all this you know extra little bits of time together that's part of our everyday life.
