In April of 2020, Mr. Mehul Sanghani, the founder and CEO of Octo, donated $10 million to his alma mater, Virginia Tech. A portion of Mr. Sanghani’s and his wife, Herma’s, donations have been used to renovate and invigorate the Hokie athletics’ player lounge. The booster is also responsible for funding four new full-time positions focused on football recruiting.
The new lounge has been renamed after the donors and is now known as the Sanghani Player Lounge. The space reminds me of the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) centers used on US military installations.
