About the Communication Work Group

The communication work group raises visibility of Virginia Tech's Sesquicentennial to broad public and extended internal audiences. It develops the official sesquicentennial brand and visual identity and distributes guidelines for their use. It creates the marketing and communications plans for Advancement and Steering Committee-led events. A toolkit will provide branded templates, messaging, and guidelines for planning and holding sesquicentennial community events.
