FLEX is a leadership program sponsored by the Student Government Association. It offers thirty outstanding freshman with diverse backgrounds and a passion for leadership the opportunity to expand their knowledge on the workings of SGA as well as numerous other organizations on campus. Through weekly meetings, community service, speakers, hands on activities, and leadership programs FLEX members will expand their knowledge on networking, campus organizations, and all things Virginia Tech. By working together throughout the year, FLEX members develop long lasting friendships that will carry them through their college careers. The FLEX program provides these freshman with the resources and leadership skills to mature into future leaders on our campus.

iChange is a movement that works to promote Virginia Tech’s motto, “Invent the Future” by supporting innovation and empowering students to play a major role in making change on campus. With the implementation of a series of contests, the iChange team hopes to find the aspects of Virginia Tech that the student body feels could be improved. Subsequent to defining these aspects, iChange will also take action to implement its own initiatives, which have been proposed by members of the student body. One initiative will be proposed, thoroughly planned, and then be implemented by a student (or student organization) contest winner. The winner will be given a budget and necessary resources to put their vision of how to improve Virginia Tech into reality. iChange will further support innovation by sponsoring events that exhibit the innovative projects that are being carried out at Virginia Tech.
