2009 Student Send Off
Thursday, August 13, 2008
On August 13, the UVaClub of Birmingham held its New Student Send-off Party, the 21st annual event at the home of George Lynn. Over 65 alumni and guests enjoyed the evening as we introduced the lucky first-years to a favorite local U.Va. tradition.
Birmingham sent six new students to Charlottesville this year: Kathryn Yates, Caroline Brady, Richard Murray, Edith Taylor, Emily Donovan and Evan Grenier.
The Club would like to extend special thanks to our host, George Lynn (LAW ’74). His gracious hospitality has made this event an outstanding success year after year. We would also like to thank Cindy Fredrick, Assistant Vice President of the Office of Engagement, for her visit.
