Philanthropy

The SEC is ultimately a philanthropic organization that seeks to help out both the Virginia Tech College of Engineering and its student body. Towards this end, we do things such as hosting events including Expo and the Freshman Major Mixer, offering scholarships, maintaining the Design Team Endowment, contributing to student organizations through Slush Funds, and of course our annual Big Contribution. More information, such as on how your organization can benefit from the SEC, will be posted in the coming weeks.

Design Team Grants
