Kudos to Vicky McPherson (Col class of ’96) and Rodney Rhodes Jr. (Batten class of ’23), who continue to lead the charge to ensure that our top talent is made aware of and takes a strong interest in being Wahoos. If your high school (or one you are connected to) is interested in learning more about the UVA experience, please help us tell the story! McPherson and Rhodes will coordinate Black UVA alumni from various generations, majors, and fields to share their college experiences with prospective high schoolers virtually or in person.
Alumni interested in supporting this work to strengthen the Black undergraduate pipeline at UVA can contact these leaders directly: McPherson at vickybmcpherson@gmail.com and Ubunye co-president Rhodes Jr. at r.rhodesjr8@gmail.com.
