Thank you for your interest in applying to the UVA Alumni Association’s Young Alumni Council (YAC) for the 2025–26 Council year. YAC is seeking alumni from the undergraduate classes of 2014–2025 who are passionate about advocating for the needs of UVA young alumni, regardless of their involvement as students or their current engagement with the University as alumni.
Council Member Expectations
YAC is a dynamic, proactive group that works in partnership with the UVA Alumni Association to engage and support the UVA young alumni community.
Over the last three decades, YAC has been an engine of ingenuity and engagement, from initiating treasured traditions like Young Alumni Reunions (YAR), to incubating programs like the University’s GivingToHoosDay annual giving day effort, to developing alumni leaders who have gone on to have widespread impact on the University through service and volunteer leadership.
All members are expected to:
- Actively participate in Council meetings (4 meetings/year)
- Actively participate on a YAC committee or working group
- Display a commitment to the UVA Alumni Association’s mission and core values
If you have questions about this application or about YAC in general, please contact YAC’s advisor, Mariel Childress, at mariel@virginia.edu.
