To our UVA Black Alumni Community,
We are shocked and heartbroken over the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene and wish to offer avenues for UVA Black Alumni to render each other support in this difficult time. We know that we have over 10,000 Black UVA Alumni in the states directly impacted by Hurricane Helene. We are confident that our caring community can rally to assist those of us in need.
To connect directly with a large number of UVA Black Alumni login or join our Facebook group.
Please contact ubunye@viginia.edu to let us know what type of support you need. We know that among this talented community, we can find ways to assist you and your loved ones through the recovery process.
With Wahoo Love,
Dr. Donna Hamilton (Col ’86) and Tasha Curry-Corcoran (Col ’98)
