About Us

Alumni Association Home

The Alumni Association of the University of Virginia is headquartered in Alumni Hall, located at 211 Emmet Street South, across the street from the University's Memorial Gymnasium. Our business hours are 8:00 to 5:00, Monday-Friday. The U.Va. Alumni Association is made up of a staff of over 50 and is governed by the Board of Managers.

By using service as the link between alumni and their alma mater, the Alumni Association has a window view into the University's long and proud history. The Alumni Association keeps its members and friends involved in the University's present. No matter how far away (either in time or location) alumni have traveled from Charlottesville, their views on the governance of today's University are represented.

The Alumni Association assists and encourages connections between alumni and students by hosting joint discussions on the Honor System, cosponsoring alumni-student job fairs, administering the U.Va. fund, housing the prestigious Jefferson Scholars Program, sending alumni association members the Alumni News magazine quarterly, and overseeing other important initiatives and activities. Through active involvement with the Association while still on Grounds, students are cultivated to assume the mantle of "university caretaker" when they become alumni. In partnership with the University of Virginia, and through its own mission and goals, the Alumni Association plays an active role in the institution's future as well.

By doing its job well today, the Alumni Association makes it much easier for the University to call on its beloved sons and daughters for help tomorrow.
