Beyond the Rotunda is designed to engage incoming graduate students to explore natural, historical, and cultural landmarks in the surrounding areas while fostering community connections that will enrich their graduate experience. It aims to help students build connections with peers across departments and deepen their ties to the broader Charlottesville-Albemarle community. Additionally, it will introduce students to the ethics and principles of collaborative and community-engaged research from the outset of their UVA journey, equipping them to make meaningful, lasting contributions as both scholars and community members.
