The Association for Bangladeshi Students at Virginia Tech (ABS@VT) serves to bring together the Bangladeshi community at Virginia Tech and the surrounding areas. We are a non-profit, non-political student organization. Our main goal is to make the Bangladeshi population at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, and nearby areas feel at home. We sponsor a wide variety of events and activities, especially the celebration of Bangladeshi festivals and volunteer-based services. We also frequently send contributions for charitable causes to Bangladesh with help from our members, friends, and alumni.
