The Office of Undergraduate Admission is excited to welcome you to our annual Virginia Counselor Workshop for college counselors and community-based organization leaders on Tuesday, September 13, 2022. This year's event will be held on UVA Grounds in Charlottesville, Virginia. Registration for the event will open in mid-August 2022.
Sessions will include a welcome from University leadership, updates on the college transition experience in a COVID world, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) resources, and relevant updated recruitment processes and policies for counselors, students, and families. The day will also feature a session with Student Financial Services, the Jefferson and Walentas Scholars Programs, athletics, and representatives to speak on the college transfer process.
