Coined by our Local Steering Committee member, Daniel Fairley, The Equity Center prides itself on being a knitter. We find and nurture connections between and amongst partners in the local community, across the Commonwealth, and at UVA. Explore some of the work and partnerships we've co-created.
Community Fellows-in-Residence Program
The Community Fellows-in-Residence program is a short-term professional development opportunity to give individuals outside of UVA access to the resources of the university, and to share their knowledge and talents with the UVA community.
Racial Equity Task Force
In the summer of 2020, UVA President Jim Ryan established the Racial Equity Task Force to address the calls for action on racial inequality in the university community.
COVID-19 Support
The Equity Center used its resources to advocate for, and co-create with community partners, an equitable response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
