On Saturday 29 September, 2008, four alumni volunteers represented the University of Virginia at London College Day. College Day is a well established and increasingly popular undergraduate US educational fair where those interested in studying in the US have a unique opportunity to meet representatives of US colleges and universities face-to-face. College Day represents the oldest and largest event of its kind in Europe and has grown from a gathering of 200 students and 30 universities in 1977 to approximately 5,000 visitors and around 100 schools in recent years. It is our plan to have representatives from the UVaClub of London participate in the 2009 London College Day.
