Program Overview

The Heyday Ambassador Program is a curated group of Virginia Tech students who bring the brand to life through real connections, content, and everyday moments.

This isn’t about traditional promotion. It’s about being part of what makes Virginia Tech feel like Virginia Tech — from tailgates and coffee runs to study sessions, workouts, and everything in between.

At Heyday Blacksburg, every day is a chance to show up, connect, and create something memorable. Ambassadors help shape that energy across campus.
