VISAS at UVA - Volunteers with International Students, Staff, & Scholars

To our graduating interns, thank you for the time, care, and energy you poured into VISAS this year. Your impact goes far beyond what can be captured in photos. We’re so proud of you and can’t wait to see all that you do next! 🧡💙🌎

Sadly, due to rain, we have to cancel tomorrow’s Garden Party. 😭🌨️ We are so grateful for this community and all that was built this year—thank you for being part of it.

Our VISAS Language Consultant pairs have spent this past year building bridges across cultures, one conversation at a time. Through weekly meetings to shared learning, their dedication has made a lasting impact on everyone involved.

We’re so grateful for the time, care, and energy you’ve poured into this program. Thank you for making VISAS such a welcoming family! 🌍🧡

Huge congratulations to our Workplace Programs for their final presentations this past week! 🎉

Our Workplace Program pairs VISAS volunteers with UVA Facilities employees to build personalized curriculum and practice English together each week throughout the semester. It’s been incredible to see the growth, dedication, and community formed along the way.

We’re so proud of all of you for your hard work and for wrapping up the semester with such strong final presentations! 👏

Meet Songhan and Moise! They are Workplace English partners and have been working together since Spring 2025! They are both interested in the field of Medicine and often talk about their plans related to the field with Songhan asking Moise about his experience in Medical School!

Join us next Wednesday for our annual VISAS + MOVE Garden Party 🌿✨
