Activities & Events for Admitted Students

Each spring, the UVA Club of Chicago Schools Committee coordinates the congratulatory phone calls to local high school students who have been accepted to the University.  The Schools Committee also organizes our annual Student Send-Off Party to for newly-accepted first years in the weeks before they head to Charlottesville.  The reception allows incoming first years and their parents to network with each other and current University students so that they build an immediate peer network before they head off to school.

Congratulatory Calls

UVA Club of Chicago volunteers helped make congratulatory phone calls to these potential students and encouraged them to attend UVA.
