Since I've been at UVA, I've been a faculty fellow
at Brown Residential College.
And I've really enjoyed having meals with students,
running a Spanish table at dinnertime.
I really believe in this UVA ideal
of having close contact between students and professors
outside of the classroom.
And I take advantage of any opportunity
I have to be able with to engage with students that way.
Along with a colleague in history,
we have created an undergraduate forum.
The forums are an alternative to the general education
requirements, and so the idea is to give students
that sort of small liberal arts experience of having
close contact with professors, rather than just going
from one class to another without a lot of guidance.
UVA offers a wealth of opportunities.
It's a matter of choosing carefully
from the enormous number of options
that you have available to craft the UVA experience that's right
for you.
