February 2025 , articleThe International Programs Office participated in Virginia Tech’s Annual Giving Day! Virginia Tech's Giving Day is a 24-hour event where Hokies from around the world come together to support their favorite university departments, programs, and teams, fostering a culture of philanthropy and community engagement in the spirit of the university's motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve). The involvement in this fundraising event supports the efforts put forth by the International Programs Office and the Global Mentor Program to encourage student engagement through resources such as the mentoring program, academic wellness, and socio-cultural events held all throughout the year! This is the heart of the Global Mentor Program, so we are so grateful for everyone’s support during and after Giving Day.
