2024 Beverly Cobble Rodriguez Lectureship
Join us for a fireside chat and reception with former UVA President and current George M. Kaufman Presidential Professor of Sociology Teresa Sullivan. In 2010 Sullivan became the University of Virginia's eighth president and its first female president.
During Sullivan’s eight-year tenure, she led UVA through a period of significant progress: launching the Meriwether Lewis Institute for Citizen Leadership, developing a new University financial model, and establishing the President's Commission on Slavery and the University, among others. In addition, Sullivan led the University through years of significant hardship, including the 2017 Unite the Right rally.
This event will highlight women's education and leadership in the liberal arts.
