The University serves Virginia, the nation, and the world by preparing responsible citizen-leaders; advancing, preserving, and disseminating knowledge; and providing world-class patient care.
All gifts of any kind help secure the University’s place as a premier institution of learning and make it possible for our students, faculty, and researchers to shape a brighter.
You can give to all 12 schools across Grounds. The possibilities are endless for supporting our students, faculty, and programs. Together, we will find the way forward.
You can join the growing number of alumni and friends who invest now in the University’s future by including UVA as a beneficiary of their wills, charitable trusts, and retirement plans. Gifts like these can offer you and your family significant tax benefits as well as greater financial flexibility in meeting your personal and philanthropic goals.
Through Honor the Future, the Campaign for the University of Virginia, we are building on our strong foundations to support the president’s vision: to become the best public university by 2030 and one of the very best in the world.
OVERVIEW
We must sustain initiatives that strengthen both sides of the academic enterprise. Resources to promote close student-faculty interaction and recruit and retain distinguished faculty are central to both the distinctive UVA student experience and the University’s reputation for academic rigor.
PRIORITIES
Gifts to Academic & Faculty Excellence support four main areas, all directly connected to students and faculty:

Initiatives
Professorships
Gifts to the Bicentennial Professors Fund have helped recruit and retain outstanding faculty, which is one of the Honor the Future Campaign’s top fundraising priorities and is critically important to the University’s future prominence.
Students
The Dathel and John Georges Student Center is the heart of Advising at UVA. The center’s staff help students find answers to questions about majors and careers, as well as direct them to research and internship opportunities.
Faculty
The Center for Teaching Excellence is key to UVA’s extraordinary culture of learning and student-faculty interaction. With services that enhance faculty and graduate teaching assistants’ teaching and professional development, CTE keeps alive the magic that occurs when impassioned teachers challenge bright students in the classroom and beyond. Your support for CTE will ensure its success.
Students & Faculty
lose student-faculty interaction is at the heart of USOAR, or Undergraduate Student Opportunities in Academic Research. Through USOAR, students obtain paid research experience—working 5-10 hours a week—and the chance to build strong and thoughtful relationships with faculty.
