Different viewpoints.
Shared Values.
One UVA.

Wahoos4UVA is a coalition of UVA alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, and friends committed to protecting UVA from political interference and partisan attacks. After the forced resignation of President Ryan enabled by a silent Board of Visitors, Governor Youngkin, and Attorney General Miyares, Wahoos4UVA is giving coalition members concrete ways to make their voices heard. Together, we are demanding accountability and calling for structural reforms to secure the legacy and future of academic freedom and the shared values of the University community.
