Grace (Class of ‘27) is a Foreign Affairs (Honors Politics Program) major from Yardley, PA. Her favorite thing about being a Facilitator in the Hoos Connected program is that it creates a safe space for any UVA student to show up as their authentic self. Regardless of the situation, she knows she has a group of cheerleaders in her corner! The Hoos Connected community is one that will celebrate her wins but also be there to offer genuine support when things are hard. Outside of HC, you can catch Grace serving as a buddy coordinator for UVA’s chapter of Best Buddies International and as VP of New Member Education for her sorority, Alpha Chi Omega. She also volunteers with Walking Bus and the Charlottesville SPCA. She is a member of Outdoors Club, UVA Scuba Club, and Surfrider. In her free time, she loves to run spend time with friends, travel, read rom-coms, re-watch The Office, and listen to music!
