Then & Now

The Class of 1968 returns for their reunion and reflects on what it is like to be a student during a transformative period in America's history.

A Good Day for Gratitude

Grateful for sunshine and for the alumni, parents, and friends who support the University of Virginia, hundreds of students lined up on the Lawn on GivingToHoosDay, April 10, to say thank you. The annual event raised $4.45 million in a 24-hour period from 7,247 donors.

A Place to Connect

Bill Gorman (Engr ’82) understands the power of connection. He studied electrical engineering as an undergraduate. But while living on the Lawn, he discovered how connection makes meaning, builds friendships, and creates community.
