FY23 Quarterly Newsletter – Q2

Dear Alumni Interest Group Leaders,

With the fall semester already underway, we’re writing to share a handful of announcements and upcoming deadlines.

Alumni Programs

With the start of the new fiscal year, the Alumni Interest Groups and Alumni Engagement teams have merged to create the Alumni Programs team. Feel free to check out the Alumni Association staff directory and take a look at this new structure! We are excited about this merge and what it will mean for the work we will do moving forward. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at aig@virginia.edu.

FY23 Contracts

FY23 contracts have been sent via DocuSign. If you have any questions about your group’s contract, please let us know by emailing aig@virginia.edu. We look forward to continuing our partnership and another great year ahead!

End of Year Communication Deadlines

It’s only fall, but planning for the end of the calendar year is already underway. To help us prepare your GivingTuesday campaigns and end of year communications, we ask that you send any related content to Emma Baumgardner by the following deadlines:

  • GivingTuesday – COB Friday, November 18, 2022
  • Printed Communications – COB Friday, November 4, 2022
  • Electronic Communications – COB Friday, December 2, 2022

We have been working closely with our printer to avoid running into supply chain issues. If you have a printed communication request that is new, or different than that of years past, please let us know so that we can prepare accordingly.

Lastly, to help you and your alumni stay connected as we approach the end of the calendar year, please complete this form to correct or update your current contact information.

Upcoming Events

Football Weekends at Alumni Hall

Before every home game of the 2022 football season, join us at Alumni Hall! The festivities begin 3 hours prior to kickoff and end 30 minutes before the start of the game so fans can make it to Scott Stadium on time.

Each tailgate features a complimentary shuttle to the game, on-site parking for Alumni Association Contributing Members, food and drink for purchase, and more! Join us for Homecomings on Saturday, October 8. The tailgate begins at 9am and kickoff is at noon.

More Than the Score Lecture Series

The Office of Engagement’s Lifetime Learning program partners with the Alumni Association to offer the More Than the Score faculty lecture series on home football gamedays. Talks are free and open to all.

Visit the Lifetime Learning site to view the full schedule and register for free.

Young Alumni Reunions

The UVA young alumni party of the year is back this Homecomings weekend. YAR tickets are on sale for members of the Classes of 2022, 2021 and 2020 until Saturday, October 8 at 4 p.m. ET, or when tickets sell out.

Reunions 2023

If your undergraduate class year ends in -3 or -8, your reunion will take place this summer! Reunions tickets will go on sale this spring, but in the meantime, take a look at the Reunions website to see how you can get ready to bring it back to Grounds in June.
