John L. Nau III (Col '68) has created an endowment to support democracy and the John L. Nau III Center for Civil War History.

The Karsh Institute of Democracy’s inaugural advisory board meets Thursday, January 6th, the first anniversary of the U.S. Capitol attack.

The advisory board features a breadth of personal and professional experiences—business, law, academic, political, philanthropic, service, entrepreneurial, journalism—as well as a current UVA student.

The Institute will build on UVA’s expertise in the study of democracy, public policy and leadership and fund construction of a new building for public forums, classes, and research.

Rector of the University of Virginia Board of Visitors James Murray showed his support for the Democracy Dialogues, a series that launched on the historic day of Jan. 6, 2021.
