Meet Sammy Finnegan (she/her)!

Association: Echols-Humphreys
Position: ASCO Secretary
Term: 2020-2021

Sammy is currently one of the Co-Chairs for Housing and Residence Life, but her journey in student leadership started in RLE. Sammy joined AsCo because she wanted to create community and make sure that everyone felt like they had a place to call home in a time when students were so restricted in their social interactions. Because of her AsCo’s initiatives, residents in her building had the chance to socially engage and get to know one another, and we were able to make the best of a very lonely year.

Her advice to the class of 2028? Join RLE if you want to meet a lot of people and gain some great event-planning skills!

One of the unique benefits of living on Grounds is the opportunity to participate in the Professors' Picks program!⁠ Participants select a book to read independently over Winter Break, and then discuss in late January/early February with the sponsoring faculty member. All books will be provided free of charge, as will food during the group discussion. The registration deadline is December 15, so go to housing.virginia.edu/professors-picks today to learn more and sign up!
