Pamplin College of Business

At the Pamplin College of Business, students are engaging in the classroom and through experiential learning opportunities to be the most career-ready business leaders in the country from day one. On Giving Day 2026, your gift to any of our 50 areas supports the Pamplin+ Challenge. When we reach 3,000 unique donors, $5,000 will be unlocked. When we reach 4,500, another $5,000 will be unlocked. If we achieve our goal of reaching 6,262 donors on Giving Day 2026, an additional $10,000 will be unlocked to support Pamplin students!

We have dozens of generous Hokies who have already stepped up by supporting our Giving Day Leaderboard. Together, they provide the resources to support the Top 10 Leaderboard Challenge — #1 prize is $20,000 — as well as the Pamplin Beat Your Best competition, Ambassador Challenges, and the Pamplin+ Challenge.

What your gift powers

  • Experiential Learning — Support internships, study abroad, and transformational co-curricular experiences that connect the classroom to the real world.
  • Student Organizations — Help ignite innovation, budding leadership, and community engagement through student-led organizations and initiatives.
  • Next Gen Pamplin Learning — Advance dynamic teaching and technology-driven learning for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students.

Because of you…

Pamplin students are gaining career experience through presenting data-driven solutions at the Day for Data symposium and exploring real estate markets in France. From Business Horizons to Hokies on Wall Street, your support opens doors for Hokies to connect with their future employer and a network of dedicated alumni.
