Serving globally

By Rachel Thompson | February 28, 2007

Global health is becoming an increas-ingly important factor at the Univer-sity. With partnerships in countries such as Brazil, South Africa, Uganda, Guyana, Tanzania and the Philippines, the University's Center for Global Health collaborates with governments, health organizations and other universities to promote a worldwide healthcare network. "This time is so ripe, because the University is becoming more global in general, and health is so important in those goals," third-year College student Temi Awosogba said. For 28 years, the Center has sought to establish student-faculty mentorships, support resource-limited projects, train international fellows from collaborating institutions in developing nations and to report on leading issues in international health. Informing students about this emerging field is a key aim of the center, according to its Web site.

On payroll, off-Grounds

By Ashley Simpson | February 22, 2007

Sometimes University students need a way to add to the change in their pockets. The solution: Get a job. University students who want both to get away from the University fishbowl and make money sometimes choose to work off Grounds and immerse themselves in areas of Charlottesville beyond the University. Dean of Students Penny Rue said she likes students to work on Grounds because "it allows them to make a deeper connection with the University community," but added that she realizes off-Grounds job opportunities tend to offer higher pay or experience more applicable to life after graduation. Second-year College student Joe Geraghty chose to work at the Gap in Fashion Square mall to earn some extra money. "I needed the money, which was what made me decide to get a job in the first place," Geraghty said.

How not to read

By Marissa D'Orazio | February 21, 2007

Almost every class you take at the University has some amount of reading. Technically, if you go to college, you should be able to read, and for some odd reason, the professors here expect you to be able to read fairly well.
