From the Publisher: Harnessing the Power of the Alumni Network

There’s nothing quite like springtime on Grounds. Student life is bustling, alumni events are in full swing, and the beauty of Charlottesville is undeniable. At the Alumni Association, we embark on this season with a renewed commitment to our mission of serving as the heartbeat of the Wahoo experience for life.

Our aspiration is to create the most actively engaged, tightly connected alumni network in the nation—a proud family of Hoos committed to making a lasting impact at UVA and beyond. That is why we are investing in a variety of new programs, including expanded career and industry-focused offerings. 

From Career Development Week, an annual weeklong career learning event series, to regular Let’s Network gatherings for our nine industry-aligned Alumni Professional Networks (APNs), to drop-in virtual career advising sessions, to interactive half-day industry summits in cities across the country, the Alumni Association is harnessing the power of the UVA alumni network to serve Hoos across fields and experience levels. 

More information about upcoming career programming—along with other signature spring events—is included on the next page. We hope you’ll join us in unlocking the full potential of our alumni community.

Wahoowa!
