For example, the community developed a sustainability ini%a%ve wherein students promote green living through the use of re-usable dishware, shower %mers, gardening, and compos%ng. In 2007, students and Hereford Fellows founded the Hereford Garden, which now provides a place for community interac%on and organic food produc%on. Over the span of 27 years, six faculty members Hereford Residential College (HRC) was founded in have served as Principal of the College: Melvin 1992 as the second of UVA’s residen2al colleges. Cherno (Physics, 1992-1996 and 2000), Daniel HRC was originally called “The New College” and Bluestone (Architecture, 1996-1999), Louis then re-named in 1993 in honor of former Bloomfield (Physics, 2001-2007), Nancy Takahashi University President and Physics Professor Frank L. (Architecture, 2007-2013), Wendy Cohn (Public Hereford. The College is located atop Observatory Health Sciences, 2013-2018), and Karen Inkelas Hill, which is part of Thomas Jefferson's original land (Educa%on, 2018-present). purchase when he founded the University. Hereford’s loca2on, with its scenic views, abundant outdoor space, and access to the Observatory Hill trail system, not only make it unique, but also a vibrant part of the larger University community. Hereford consists of Whyburn House, Norris House, and Vaughan House. Also on the Hill are neighboring residence halls: Johnson House, Malone House, and Weedon House (JMW). These residence halls are not part of Hereford, but share the same unique design—notably different from the rest of the University. Together, with Vaughan House, these buildings are a reinterpreta2on of Jefferson's Academical Village plan with residen2al areas surrounding the central Lawn.

The early iden2ty, culture, tradi2ons, and programs that address American colonies imported the residen2al college the needs and interests of their specific community system in its first colleges, including Harvard, William members. & Mary, and Yale. In these early models, all of the students and faculty were members of one of several For example: Brown students host an annual haunted residen2al colleges on their campus, and typical house in October known as “The Haun2ngs” and refer residen2al colleges included a dining hall, chapel, to their community as “quirky” or “artsy.” library, bar, and common rooms.

UVA’s three residen2al colleges—Brown, Hereford, and the Interna2onal Residen2al College (IRC)—share similar structures and resources beginning with their emphasis on student leadership and self-governance. To support the student leaders, each college has a team of faculty and staff. The Principal and Director of Studies live on-site at Hereford with their families. The Program Coordinator and Graduate Intern do not live on-site, but have offices situated adjacent to the Brown College at Monroe Hill residence halls. Hereford 5 Hereford Traditions As you have probably gathered by now, Mr. Jefferson’s University is a place steeped in tradition, and Hereford is no different. Herefordians eat together, study together, and play together. From the day they arrive, Herefordians are warmly invited to be active members of the community by participating in some of the existing traditions mentioned below and/or inventing new ones. **Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of our Hereford traditions will be on hiatus until it is safe to resume in-person group activities. Hereford’s leadership remains committed to building our community virtually and exploring creative new ways to maintain connections.** Bloomfield Cup Dome Room Dinner Named aoer our third Principal, Lou Bloomfield, the The Dome Room Dinner is a semi-formal dinner Bloomfield Cup is the annual flag football held every fall in the Dome Room of the Rotunda. tournament held between the two Hereford This event is popular because of its unique loca2on residence halls. Each spring, the current and past and the fact that it provides students with the halls (Whyburn and Norris, along with Johnson, opportunity to break-out their evening-wear. Malone, and Weedon) compete for the coveted cup on the Hereford Lawn. The winners have the honor of displaying the Bloomfield Cup (a trophy) in their residence hall for the year. Bloomfield Cup Dome Room Dinner 6 Hereford Breakfast Club Every Tuesday morning, star2ng at 7:30 am, the Student Senate provides a breakfast catered by Panera. Be sure to stop by on the way to class for coffee, bagels, fruit, and orange juice on these days! **ON HIATUS FALL 2020** Cookie Night Every Thursday evening, the Hereford Student Senate provides a study break with warm assorted cookies in the Hereford Hub! Cookie flavors include: chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, sugar, oatmeal raisin, peanut buLer chip, white chocolate macadamia, and M&M’s. **ON HIATUS FALL 2020** Alpha Banquet + Convocation Held at the beginning of each school year in the Hereford amphitheater, this ceremony welcomes all new members into the Hereford community. This celebra2on marks the unofficial start of the new school year and is ooen an2cipated as one of the first official gatherings of the en2re Hereford community. **CELEBRATED VIRTUALLY FALL 2020** Jefferson Cups & Grad.

These cups and stoles are distributed at the Omega Banquet at the end of the year. These gios are biLersweet as we are so proud of our graduates, but sad to see them leave! Hereford 7 The Groves of Hereford At Hereford, we like to consider ourselves as more than simply a dorm: We are a community, and as such, we would like to create a Hereford in which everyone feels connected to and responsible for one another. It’s hard to do this when we have 200+ community members, but everyone can connect with the 25 or so students living alongside them. What are the Groves? That’s why this year, Hereford is conGnuing the “Groves” concept, based on our tree logo and “Deeply Rooted” mo"o. Each floor of Norris and Whyburn consGtutes a Grove, and each grove is named aPer a tree that is naGve to this geographical region. Each Grove is a micro-community within Hereford; residents within each Grove are expected to look out for one another, include each other in social ouGngs, and generally be caring and friendly neighbors. Below is the list of the Groves of Hereford for 2020-2021: Each Grove has one RA.

Although it’s been a few years since our club has had a newsletter, the name maintains continuity with the previous incarnation and also a sense of tradition. With the increasing use of the Internet, our website Welcome to New RAClub Members (Jan–July) (www.raclub.org), and the club’s Yahoo group David Buckwalter Shannon McCurdy (tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/rac_group/), it’s no Joseph Fordham Jessica & Chris Roberts surprise a dedicated newsletter fell out of favor. While David Johannsen Wayne Shields our Internet tools undoubtedly provide a necessary David Marlow David Tillman service and will continue to do so, after using these tools Ernest Mudd over the past 18 months, I felt something was missing. It finally occurred to me that while the RAClub Internet presence is indispensable, the club membership would benefit from a more intimate, more traditional way of receiving club information. I felt we needed one concise place where we could get a good overview of the members’ astronomical activities and provide some much- needed acknowledgement of their fine work. I wanted an electronic document that would serve as summary and an enduring historical record of our club’s activities. The StarGazer will become the first place prospective and new members can go to see the caliber and breadth of work we do on a quarterly basis.
