“Without this support, Virginia Tech would not have pursued this opportunity.  However, as a result of PGI’s investment, we were able to expose a talented student to a career in Advancement in general and planned giving in particular.  We were able to complete two projects that we have needed for some time.  And perhaps most importantly, we have gained important experience in how to operate an internship – something that will be extremely valuable as we continue to grapple with talent pipeline issues that so many Advancement offices face.”
