This is Caroline Still, a third year from Jacksonville, FL and one of ULink’s Coordinators for the College of Arts and Sciences.
“My experience with ULink has been one of the most rewarding of my college career. My advisor was central to grounding me those first crazy weeks at UVA and helping me figure out not only my interests but who I wanted to be at this University. I love being able to be that person for my advisees. Although, they honestly inspire me more than I advise them!”

This is Alice Bremer, Nursing Coordinator and third year from Centreville, Va.
"I remember receiving an email from my ULink advisor as a first year in August and being immediately relieved! I had so many questions, ranging from classes to the best dining halls, and was thrilled to have an upperclassmen happy to help me out. I chose to apply to be an advisor as soon as I was eligible, because I wanted to leave the same impact that I felt as a first year at UVA. ULink is a great resource that provides advisees with valuable information from older students, helpful in ensuring a smooth transition from high school. I love being a part of ULink and building connections with first years in the nursing school!”

This is Claire Duffy, a second year from outside of Boston, MA, and the current Special Events Coordinator.
“Coming into UVA as a first year without knowing anyone at a giant school, knowing that I had a ULink advisor who was there for any type of advice or support that I needed was a huge source of comfort. Because of how positively ULink impacted me as an advisee, I knew that I wanted to apply to be an advisor so that I could give first years the same great experience that I had. This ended up being one of the best decisions I have ever made - from chatting over coffee with my advisees to hanging out with my fellow advisors at ULink events, I have found such an amazing community! I encourage everyone to apply for this wonderful organization!”

“Being involved with ULink has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had at UVA! I have loved being able to engage with first year advisees in a truly meaningful way by giving advice about courses, connecting them with organizations that fit their interests, and even building close personal friendships. I am so happy that I decided to become a part of ULink, and recommend it to anyone interested in making a difference in the UVA community!”

This is Haleigh Hopper a second year from Alexandria, VA and the Curry Coordinator for ULink!
"I joined ULink to connect first year students with older students who can provide them with information that only students know. My ULink advisor really helped me to find cool classes and clubs that I never knew existed (fun fact UVA has over 700 clubs ranging from dodgeball to high powered rocketry). I think that ULink provides incoming first years with a great resource that can help them smoothly transition into life at UVA!"
