What’s a Bird Buck?

Hold up. Did you hear about the new on campus currency called Bird Bucks? Were you aware that you can collect Bird Bucks throughout the semester and then turn them in for prizes? No? Here are some deets that will help you get your hands on some Bird Bucks so that you too can cash in for awesome rewards. Best part? Every time you collect a Bird Buck, you are learning health and well-being skills that will propel you to a long, healthful, and purpose-filled life.

Bird Bucks are a new currency distributed by Hokie Wellness. It’s a Monopoly-style currency that can only be redeemed in the Hokie Wellness office in McComas Hall.

How do I get my hands on that cheddar?

It’s easy! Hokie Wellness hosts tabling sessions throughout the semester that hand out Bird Bucks just for participating. These sessions can be found on GobblerConnect. All you need to do is show up and engage with the team to earn your own Bird Buck.
