Jim Ryan, University of Virginia President
Thank you for being here, staff and the university leadership team.

I really wanted to especially welcome the swimmers and divers, including their amazing coaches, and some who returned from Paris.

Congratulations.

Today we get to move in, people. Please lend a hand. Don’t hurt
yourselves, and I hope you have as much fun as the first year as you’re helping.

Student-athletes and University of Virginia leaders lugged luggage and boxes for first-year students of the Class of 2028 during Friday’s formal Move-In Day.

UVA President Jim Ryan joined the athletes, including members and coaches of UVA’s swimming and diving team, to dive in, unload vehicles and help students and families turn empty rooms into new homes.
