<span style="font-size:larger;">At Virginia Tech, community engagement is crucial to us. We have an office of Economic Development that focuses on just that. We partner with business and communities with on-campus and local resources. One of the main studies that has garnered much interest was studying and analyzing the impact of the prominent Virginia Tech football team plays on the local economy. Our university football team helps provide 300 local jobs and $69 million to the community. Our school is passionate about efforts to improve the area we live inand are striving to discover more ways to do so. </span>
