Great ideas come from lots of different opinions.
The School of Architecture, our student puts their work up,
and they're critiqued relentlessly.
And in that critique, they learn lots of different opinions,
lots of different ideas, and it only
makes your ideas stronger and better.
Diversity is our strength.
Here at UVA, I do a lot of community work.
Recently won a grant to work with the new Vinegar Hill
idea of African-American redevelopment within the city.
That means lots of work with community organizations
and community leaders, thinking about ways
to bridge the gaps between us all,
and to help with ideas of division
in our culture in our time.
The UVA students have got a special passion and fire,
and they also are born to collaborate,
and they're born to lead, and they're born
to come up with the new ideas.
And that energy helps you learn and helps
you realize that UVA's a special place where we can really reach
out and make a difference.
