Virginia Tech Saves

Virginia Tech is one of only four universities selected to pilot a college community campaign by the America Saves nationwide campaign. CIO has partnered with local banks and businesses to organize several events such as Fall Kick-off to raise awareness of the necessity and benefits of regular saving for financial security. Individuals are encouraged to set savings goals and enroll to be saver through the Virginia Tech Saves enrollment form on the America Saves website.

In February 2008, graduate students and faculty presented a poster on the social marketing program at the Eastern Family Economics and Resource Management Association (EFERMA) conference in Savannah, Georgia.

The current faculty advisor is Dr. Irene Leech, ileech@vt.edu
