PARENTS FUND enjoyed another banner year as more families than ever before demonstrated support for our mission to enhance the undergraduate experience. More than ______ of you made gifts during the 2014–15 year, an outpouring of generosity that led to an unprecedented $1,xxx,xxx in donations! Thank you! The Parents Fund is administered by the U.Va. Parents Committee, a group of more than 260 families from all over the country. We meet twice yearly to hear from students and administrators about critical needs and strategic opportunities on Grounds, and we couldn’t be more excited about some of the ways the Parents Fund is impacting our students’ lives. For instance, this past year we partnered with University Career Services to launch the Virginia Alumni Mentoring program and build a network of Career Communities designed to help our kids land internships and jobs. We made a significant investment in student health and safety by funding programs like #HoosGotYour Back, and by working with groups like the U.Va. Women’s Center and the Gordie Center for Substance Abuse Prevention. And we continued to fund some of the beloved traditions that help shape the U.Va. experience: The annual Lighting of the Lawn, College Advising Seminar Classes (COLAs), and a diverse array of cultural, athletic, and volunteer programs that help students connect with one another and foster a sense of place. A complete list of programs, scholarships, and other Parents Fund grants may be found at www.uvaparents.virginia.edu. Every gift, no matter the amount, makes a difference, and we look forward to seeing the fruit of our collective efforts both now and in the years to come.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 456 204 UD 034 379 AUTHOR Gaston, Paul M. TITLE Reflections on Affirmative Action: Its Origins, Virtues, Enemies, Champions, and Prospects. PUB DATE 2001-00-00 NOTE 18p.; In: Orfield, Gary, Ed., Diversity Challenged: Evidence on the Impact of Affirmative Action. Cambridge, Harvard Education Publishing Group, 2001. p277-293. See UD 034 365. PUB TYPE Opinion Papers (120) Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Affirmative Action; Civil Rights; *College Admission; *Diversity (Student); Higher Education; Minority Groups; Racial Discrimination; Racial Integration IDENTIFIERS University of Virginia ABSTRACT This chapter reflects on the civil rights movement and affirmative action at the University of Virginia from the 1960s to 1999, when affirmative action was challenged by people claiming that it discriminated against new groups. It describes how affirmative action changed the author's teaching at the University as he challenged deep-rooted racial beliefs. The chapter suggests that affirmative action is essential to higher education for the pursuit of justice and the health of U.S. society. It details the attack on affirmative action, describing differences between what opponents of affirmative action call racial discrimination and what actual racial discrimination involves. It explains what affirmative action means to education, noting that misconceptions about the admission process often spring from unexamined assumptions that universities base their admissions offers on estimates of candidates' academic promise. In reality, universities typically do not base their admission offers on estimates of academic ability alone but instead also consider interests, needs, talents, skills, sex, race, nationality, and residence. The principle of affirmative action laid out by Justice Lewis Powell of Virginia states that race may be legitimately considered where it is simply one element, to be weighed fairly against other elements, in the selection process.

  • Nancy Hale Bibliography
    Nancy Hale: A Bibliography Introduction Despite a writing career spanning more than a half century and marked by an extensive amount of published material, no complete listing exists of the works of Nancy Hale. Hale is recognized for capturing both the mentality of a certain level of woman and the aura of a period, glimpsed in three distinctly different areas of the country: Boston, New York, and the South. The three locations are autobiographical, drawing first on the New England of Hale’s birth in 1908 where she remained for her first twenty years, followed by nearly a decade in New York City while she pursued her career, and eventually shifting during the late 1930s to Virginia where she remained for the rest of her life. Those three locales that she understood so well serve exclusively as backdrops for her fiction throughout her long career. Childhood years are always critical to what we become, and Hale’s background figures prominently in her life and her writing. She slipped, an only child, into a distinguished line of New England forebears, marked by the illustrious patriot Nathan Hale and including such prominent writers as grandfather Edward Everett Hale, author of “The Man Without a Country,” and great aunts Harriet Beecher Stowe (Uncle Tom’s Cabin) and Lucretia Peabody Hale (The Peterkin Papers). Her heritage connects her solidly to America’s literary beginnings and repeatedly shapes her own writings, resulting eventually in a publisher’s invitation to edit the significant literature of New England, which results in A New England Discovery. The second geographical site in which Hale sets her fiction, again affords a sensitive representation of an era and its players.

  • “A Great Light: the Office of African-American Affairs at The
    “A Great Light: The Office of African-American Affairs at the University of Virginia, 2006-2015” An overview commemorating its fortieth anniversary by Professor Ervin L. Jordan Jr., Research Archivist, Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light. —Matthew 4:16 (New King James Version) The history we share should give you hope. The future we share should give you hope. Your generation is poised for success unlike any generation of African Americans that came before it. —Barack Obama This essay, derived from a forthcoming history of African-Americans at U.Va., is copyrighted © 2015 by Prof. Ervin L. Jordan Jr., and reproduced here by permission. No part of this work may be reproduced or stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means without his written permission. All Rights Reserved. On the eve of its fortieth anniversary (2016), the Office of African-American Affairs (OAAA) at the University of Virginia can look back on a praiseworthy record against the backdrop of two recently notable examples of racial and gender-based change in America and at the University: the 2008 election of Barack Obama as the first African-American president of the United States, and the 2010 election of Teresa Sullivan as the University’s first female president—events unimaginable a decade ago. This essay is a 2006-2015 historical overview of the OAAA and supplements my previous piece, “The First Generation: Thirty Years of the Office of African-American Affairs at the University of Virginia.” More than merely a cultural refuge, the OAAA facilitates solutions to issues of university concern as a substantial intellectual resource whose forty-year journey on stony paths intermittently potholed with controversies has not always involved only race matters.

  • UVA Alumni for Change Letter to President Sullivan: Dear President
    UVA Alumni for Change Letter to President Sullivan: Dear President Sullivan: This weekend marks the 30th anniversary of Black Alumni Weekend; a tradition begun to address the herculean task of engendering goodwill between the University and the thousands of Black alumni whom have walked the lawn since the first meaningful numbers of our population began to be admitted as students in the early 1970s. Over this span many of us have raised our voices, protested, donated, and partnered with mutual stakeholders to push the University, our University, to confront its history while remaining deeply vested in its future. Our deep and abiding love for the University of Virginia impels us to push toward the lofty principals articulated by its progenitor. Each of us did this work and engaged in these arduous efforts in hopes that even in some incremental, though ever increasing way, an ever more robust generations of Black students would finally be able to experience the Academical Village in all of its affirming promise and glory. Unfortunately, as the deplorable, horrific attack, and prosecution of Martese Johnson has demonstrated, this hope remains unfulfilled as yet another dream deferred. Yet it need not be so. Today, we call upon you as President of this prestigious University to do what your predecessors have not chosen to do: join us and say ‘no further, no longer'. Commit to doing all that can be done to ensure that our wait for access and justice goes no further than this moment. Commit to doing all that can be done to ensure that we no longer have to wait to transform the University into an ecosystem that gives no fertile ground to racism.

  • Frequently Asked Questions Academics
    Frequently Asked Questions Academics What can I study at U.Va.? The University offers undergraduate degrees from seven schools: the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Architecture, the School of Engineering, the School of Nursing, the School of Commerce, the School of Education, and now, the School of Leadership and Public Policy. A number of majors are offered in each of the schools, as well as the option to study, and even major, in more than one school. We offer more than 65 degree programs, and students also may design their own major. At the center of our educational philosophy is a focus on the study of the liberal arts. All students, even those enrolled in pre-professional schools, are encouraged to take classes in many disciplines. Does U.Va. offer an honors program? Both the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering and Applied Science offer school-wide honors programs. In the College, the Echols Scholars Program enrolls students who have excelled academically and exhibited unusual intellectual curiosity. Echols Scholars enjoy some priority registration within their year, exemption from all area requirements and an opportunity to be housed with other Echols, Rodman and College Science Scholars. In the School of Engineering, the Rodman Scholars enjoy special seminars and design projects in the first year, specially designated courses throughout their undergraduate program, and possibly some financial compensation. No special application is necessary for either the Echols or the Rodman program; everyone who applies for admission to the College or the School of Engineering is considered automatically.
