Summer Sign-Off

Welcome to the last blog from this year’s summer guides! I hope you all

have enjoyed hearing what we have to say, and we’ve really appreciated

you reading. For this last blog, each of us will write about what we’re looking

forward to this upcoming year at UVa. Please feel free to reach out to any of

us with questions about school, Charlottesville, or anything UVa! 

Abby

I’ll be working with Athletics Marketing for the Football, Field Hockey,

and Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse teams this year. UVa offers lots of

internships for students, and great opportunities for learning about careers. 

Alex 

This year, Alex is living in a house with all friends from her first year at

UVa. After your first year, you are free to live off-Grounds, so they’ve

chosen a great house close to UVa. 

Isaiah 

At the end of your second year at UVa, it’s time to declare your major. Isaiah

is entering his second year, and will be declaring majors in Sociology and

African & African American Studies soon. 

Lily

Lily is in our interdisciplinary American Studies major, and she is looking

at graduate programs in American Studies and History. Many students from

UVa choose to apply to grad school, and Lily is one of them!

Maddie 

Maddie will be studying abroad at Regent’s University in London as an

Upperclassmen mentor with UVa’s London First program. The program

allows first year students to study abroad before they get to UVa, and

Maddie will be there helping them all learn about college life!

Sabrina

Sabrina is starting a new job at Urban Outfitters in the Downtown Mall.

The Mall is a great place to work since there’s always so much going on and

it’s really close to UVa. Plus, employee discount!

Sam

Sam is majoring in Political Philosophy, Policy, and Law in the Batten School

of Leadership and Public Policy. This major requires an application at the end

of your second year, so Sam will be starting coursework this fall after having

been accepted in the spring. 

Stefan 

Stefan will be an RA this year! RA’s help first-year students adjust to life at UVa,

create community within dorms, and just make all of the students feel more at home. 

Will 

Will is studying abroad in Valencia, Spain for an entire year! He will be working

on classes for his Spanish and Media Studies majors, and traveling around Europe.

Will is one of only a few students who will study abroad for two semesters, and it

is a great opportunity to travel and learn more about

You-Jin 

You-Jin works at our Career Center at UVa, and she is excited to keep working there

up and into this year. 

Thanks again for keeping up with all of us this summer! I’ve loved writing the blogs

every week, and feel free to email me at ars4qj@virginia.edu with any UVa questions.

Have a great year and Wahoowa!
