University of Virginia President Teresa A. Sullivan and U.Va.’s Office of State Governmental Relations will host area legislators Dec. 19 at noon for a public forum in the Rotunda Dome Room.

The invited legislators include Sen. Creigh Deeds (D-Hot Springs), Sen. Emmett Hanger Jr. (R-Mount Solon), Sen. Bryce Reeves (R.-Fredericksburg), Del. Robert Bell (R-Charlottesville), Del. R. Steven Landes (R-Verona), Del. David J. Toscano (D-Charlottesville) and Del. C. Matthew Fariss (R-Rustburg).
