The new director of the Center for Space Science and Engineering (Space@VT), Prof. Scott Bailey, is calling on industrial partners, alumni, and all interested parties to consider contributing to the goals of the space program at Virginia Tech by making a Giving Day contribution on Tuesday, March 19, that is targeted as a donation to Space@VT. In his words: 'Giving Day is a one-day fundraising event for all members of Hokie Nation. The goal is to engage our community to advance the mission of the university while raising critical funding to ensure we continue to build upon our foundations to provide big opportunities for our students. As part of Giving Day you have the option to make donations to Space@VT. These donations can help us in a number of ways, but first and foremost to help our students. The funds may be used to broaden their research experiences, support the student’s infrastructure needs, or to support our diversity initiatives. Any donation you are able to make will be very impactful to our center and students. The link to Giving Day is https://givingday.vt.edu/ Select 'College of Engineering' from the left hand menu ('Area of Support'), then 'Space@VT' from the right hand menu ('Fund Designation'). Donations will be accepted starting at noon Tuesday March 19 and for the following 24 hours, though donations outside that period can be made by following instructions on the web page.
We are very grateful for all of your support!
Best regards, Scott
