The UVA Alumni Association’s Corner Book Club is a virtual book club for alums of all ages featuring a range of titles by UVA alumnae authors.
Corner Book Club members can read along anytime, anywhere and have the opportunity to recommend titles, vote on reading selections throughout the year, connect on a private online forum, and participate in special virtual events with alumnae authors.
The Corner Book Club is currently on hiatus
Many thanks to those who have been reading along with us in recent years and to the outstanding UVA alumnae authors whose work we’ve enjoyed together!
We invite you to engage with the alumni community virtually through Wahoo Connect, the Alumni Association’s new online community for UVA alumni. Through Wahoo Connect, you can search the UVA alumni directory, engage with members of the alumni community individually and through shared interest groups, and access resources to develop and enrich your career. Questions about Wahoo Connect? Check out these Wahoo Connect FAQs.
