Every fall, around 25 second-year students are selected to become fellows in the Meriwether Lewis Institute for Citizen Leadership program. This past summer, the pandemic forced the fellows to get creative with their projects as they sought solutions for challenges COVID-19 presented the University students. The 25 fellows rose to the challenge, and from the program came the #YOUVa student-run initiative. This particular campaign — currently headed by nine fellows that wished to continue developing the initiative into the school year — is dedicated to making information accessible for students, encouraging students to follow CDC guidelines and keeping the University community safe.
