Fall Newsletter

Calling for volunteers-Contact admitted international students!

Hi all,

Exciting news: Admission offers will be released next Thursday! If you are interested in contacting international admitted students to congratulate them and help answer their questions of coming to UVA, let me know! Anyone is welcome to volunteer, regardless of nationality.

If you decide to volunteer, we will pass you the names and all the necessary details, and you will be contacting the international students through email (and phone/Skype/MSN, up to you) on your own, at your own time. The time commitment will vary widely, depending on how many questions the students ask, how detailed you want to answer them, how fast you type (haha), etc. By default, I will give you 5 names. If you want less (or more), please indicate your preference to me. We will also pass you a "Guideline in contacting students" along with the names if you decide to volunteer.

To volunteer, contact Alyssa at rl2bx@virginia.edu with your name, year and country (if applicable).

This project is proudly brought to you by Global Student Council.

Best,
Alyssa

Current Initiatives

UVa Global Publicity

UVA Global Publicity is a project under Global Student Council that seeks to extend publicity about UVA to high school students and employers outside the United States. Some of the sub-projects we have in the pipeline are international High School Visits, participation in overseas education fairs, international students' blog and/or website, and brochures targeted for employers. UVA Global Publicity has received substantial interest from international students and faculty members. With the support of Dean Parke Muth and the Office of Admission, UVA Global Publicity managed to launch the international High School Visits last December, which covered a few high schools in China. The project is expected to continue to grow this semester.

UVA Global Publicity aims to increase UVA's reputation globally, especially among overseas high school students and employers.
