Over the next 24 hours, help Pamplin keep its spot at the top of Virginia Tech’s Giving Day Leaderboard for a third year. Our goal for Giving Day 2023 is 2,891 unique donors and your gift, no matter the size, will support us in reaching this goal.
Whether you choose to give to the college’s annual fund, a department or program, Pamplin's Office for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, the Global Business and Analytics Complex, or a student organization, your gift will help us prepare the next generation of business leaders.

GBAC AND CENTRAL CHALLENGES

Pamplin's new location within the complex will feature team rooms, state-of-the-art classrooms, and labs that will greatly benefit Pamplin students.
Donors can make a gift to any Pamplin fund and help unlock funds for GBAC. For every 289 unique donors, $12,400 will be unlocked for GBAC, up to $124,000.
The 2023 GBAC Challenge is facilitated by a collective of passionate Pamplin supporters, including Chris Shean '87, David Phipps '86, Dwight Shelton '71, Brian Cook '79, MBA '81, and an anonymous Pamplin parent, all of whom believe strongly in the transformational educational experiences that GBAC will catalyze.
Central challenges: Any central challenges won by Pamplin throughout Giving Day will be shared with all units participating in Giving Day.
