A Sense of Community

The thing I love the most about UVA EHD is the sense of community that it provides to students within the larger UVA community. From the moment I stepped on Grounds (and even before), I felt like had a place where I belonged that had an abundance of resources, support, and amazing people to help me collaborate with others and pursue anything that I set my mind to.
