Welcome Bags (August 20, 21, 22 & 26)
We will go out into the streets of UVA in groups of two to three to distribute Welcome Bags to international students and invite them to a Welcome Picnic on the following Sunday (August 31). The Welcome Bags are hand-made by a church in Roanoke. Please join us for a Welcome Bag stuffing party on Friday, August 16.
