This is the first year that most of our Welcome Week events are being held with a virtual option in order to facilitate our mission of providing programming for students, regardless of where they may be geographically. Our members have been working very hard over the past several months planning, and we are excited to see you at Welcome Week and many more of our events in the coming year.
We’ve implemented extensive norms surrounding safety and risk mitigation during the pandemic, and have outlined specific steps on our website. We actively encourage everyone to be aware of how your choices affect people around you, and to adopt empathy moving into this semester.
For more information about these upcoming events as well as details about joining our team later this fall, follow us on Instagram & Twitter, like us on Facebook, and subscribe to our newsletter.
Best of luck in the academic year, and welcome back to UVA.
Sincerely,
Tim Mirnyi
Chair of University Programs Council
