Happy Birthday, Mr. Jefferson!

Happy Founder's Day! It's been a busy month for visits, between juniors coming to Grounds during spring break and seniors visiting us as they make their final decisions. It's been so much fun to meet you at Days on the Lawn, both those who came over knowing who I am and those who approached wondering why there was a dog at DOTL. CavDog has enjoyed the attention so much that he seemed a little sad that he wasn't coming to the office today. Friday will be here in no time and he'll be greeting another group of visitors then.

We're still working on reading transfer applications, but are also starting to make updates to the UVa supplement to the Common App for next year. It's amazing to think that the next application cycle will begin in just a few short months.
