At UVA Engineering, we're not pursuing diversity for diversity's sake. We're pursuing strategic diversity, and that is diversity to achieve a strategic goal.
Our goal is to be excellent so that we can provide excellent service and value to society. Addressing society's complex challenges will require everyone's talents and perspectives. The vision for UVA Engineering's diversity efforts, led by the Office of Diversity and Engagement, is to harness the strategic value of diversity, inclusion and engagement in UVA Engineering's educational and research p

Excellence Through Diversity Distinguished Learning Series - Michael Sam
Michael Sam - Excellence Through Diversity Series is tonight!!
Doors open at 5:30PM, so get there early to grab a great seat.
We will, as always, be livestreaming it right here on this page.
Angela Davis - Excellence Through Diversity Speaker Series
Hello Everyone,
If you were unable to secure a ticket to see Angela Davis next week, we understand and recognize your disappointment.
General Admission tickets were in very limited supply, as we evenly split the pool to accommodate our VIP List, prioritize the University of Virginia community, and allow access for various groups and organizations across the university, city, and state. As a result, the GA tickets sold out almost immediately this morning.
Our move to the Paramount Theater was in order to increase capacity, as our original space in Old Cabell Hall holds 200 fewer people. We are excited about this partnership, and about hosting an electric, inspiring, and uplifting evening.
For those without tickets, make sure to arrive early on the day of the event as there will be a standby line and we expect some attrition to allow that line to move. At 5:45PM on March 27th, we will void all unclaimed tickets and begin to allow the standby line to enter the Paramount.
We cannot predict how many seats will be available through standby, nor at what time the line will begin to form.
As with all of our events, we will be live streaming via our page and online.
We hope you will join us in celebrating Angela Davis and the Excellence Through Diversity Distinguished Learning Series!
