The UVA Diversity Retreat is an annual program where the UVA Community can unite and speak to the current needs and concerns of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. Through this initiative, the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs – Diversity Programs aims to cultivate a rich and inclusive learning environment that affirms the identities, perspectives, and views of all graduate students and postdoctoral scholars to thrive at the University of Virginia.
The retreat will be held on Saturday, October 21, in Ridley Hall, Room 302, and the 2023 theme will be “The Path to Inclusion: Building Bridges, Celebrating Differences, and Embracing Change.” Dr. Stephanie Rowley, Dean of the School of Education and Human Development, will be our featured keynote speaker, followed by three concurrent workshops discussing Building Bridges, Celebrating Differences, and Embracing Change.
We welcome you to join us, and we will have catered activities throughout the entire retreat. Be sure to register online no later than Thursday, October 19, at 12 noon EDT.
