Faculty, staff, and non-student wage employees, local to the Blacksburg campus and surrounding region, are invited to attend the Employee Appreciation and Hokie Wellness Fair on Wednesday, May 21, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., at Lane Stadium.

This year’s Employee Appreciation event includes:

The Hokie Wellness Fair, co-sponsored by Grant Irby, Realtor and Warm Hearth Village, will host more than 60 benefits, health, wellness, and other exhibitors. Just some fair events include vaccinations, health screenings, VT Therapy Dogs, 15-minute massages, and a food drive for The Market at Virginia Tech.

The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute’s (VTTI) Sharing the Road with Trucks program will also lead a demonstration where you get to sit in the driver’s seat of a Virginia Tech-themed semi-truck. Participants will have the chance to witness the unique challenges truck driver’s face and learn more about how to drive in harmony with trucks in the process. This is a special VTTI experience you do not want to miss!
