For the next few weeks, students will be taking over the UVA Admission account on instagram (@uvaadmission). I thought I'd introduce each student here before they start posting on the account. Keep an eye on our Instagram stories tomorrow to hear from Zach!

Favorite UVA Memory: My first week of school, I got to meet so many different people from unique backgrounds and everyone was so open to making new relationships within my Introduction to Engineering Class. I learned that UVA is a place where everyone has their own niche interests and their own academic identities. The collaborative aspect of UVA allows you to explore the many facets of your peers' identities and learn so much from everyone around you. This is a place in which you will never feel like the smartest, most experienced person in the room. Therefore, you will continue to flourish and grow throughout your time on grounds.
