In addition, faculty are invited to attend a social for all new faculty on August 31. Faculty may sign up to attend through this link.
Membership includes:
- Social programming, such as the Openings party and Oktoberfest
- Programming which highlights the arts, sciences, history and culture of UVA, such as a presentation by Professor John Edwin Mason on the Holsinger Studio Portrait Project and a talk by Professor Emeritus Richard Guy Wilson on Brooks Hall
- Weekly treat “pop-ups” with various local vendors
- Daily coffee and tea
