To The University Community,

The Quality Of Life At The University Is Enhanced By Students, Faculty, Staff And Administrators Who Demonstrate A Genuine Concern For Their Fellow People, A Love Of Learning And A Love Of Life. Although Our Community Is Composed Of Many Talented Members, Perhaps The Most Valuable Contributions Are From Those Who Seek No Attention. The P.U.M.P.K.I.N. Society Recognizes Individuals Who Enrich The University Through Their Silent And Selfless Service. This Halloween, The P.U.M.P.K.I.N. Society Has Chosen To Recognize 10 Fourth-Year Students Who Have Gone Above And Beyond In Their Contributions. These 10 Include Outstanding Mentors, CIO Leaders, Senior Residents And Dedicated Contributors To The University’s Literary And Performing Arts. Their Tireless Work Has Reached Communities Across Grounds, From U.Va. Health To The Honor Committee. Join Us In Celebration Of Their Accomplishments, Which Have Left An Indelible Mark On The University Community.
