This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join us in reflecting on the incredible impact our alumni community has made over the years—and the enduring difference we can achieve together. From the classrooms that shaped our paths, to the friendships and communities that continue to enrich our lives, we are united by a shared commitment to giving back.
Make your gift today and join us in supporting our community of Latin American students and alumni. Your donation to the Bolívar Network will directly contribute to scholarships, networking opportunities, and initiatives that empower our alumni. Hear from our Board Member, Miguel Bacigalupe (Col ’08) , on how community and connections shaped his personal and professional journey. Here is a snippet of his Q&A:
“UVA has without a doubt the most loyal and devoted alumni base that I have encountered. Don’t be afraid of tapping into this network – I assure you that alums will be more than happy to serve as a mentor or at the very least, a sounding board. I remember meeting Gina Flores, a wonderful Latina alum at La Gala, which brought together Latinx alums, current Latinx students, and admitted Latinx students, and grabbing coffee with her at her office. Gina not only guided me when I arrived at a crossroads in my career, but was instrumental in getting me involved in the Bolívar Network – an organization dear to my heart, which seeks to foster stronger bonds between Latinx alums with students.”
“As a member of the board and a believer in the power of connections, I’m donating to the Bolívar Network today, and I encourage you to join me in supporting our community.”
