2008 Jefferson Book Awards
The Jefferson Book Award was established by the University of Virginia Alumni Association to recognize outstanding high school students during their junior year. The recipient is a junior who the school's faculty considers to best represent the Jeffersonian ideals of scholarship, leadership, and citizenship. This Spring, we are presenting the Jefferson Book Award at 11 area high schools. Thank you to Crystal King for coordinating the book awards this year!
Hoos Happenin' | Accepted Students Party
The Accepted Students Party at Kate and Steven Ezell's home on April 14 was a great success! Local alumni met and recruited this year's fantastic admitted students and their parents. Twenty-five local students were offered admission to the University this year, and we hope the majority of them will enroll. Many thanks to the volunteers who made congratulatory phone calls to the admitted students and to those alums who attended the party – Buddy Best, Stacey Blankenship, Chris Burger, Carlos and Katie Cooper, Kate and Steven Ezell, Elizabeth Hale, Linda Herrell, Robert Herring, Kendra May, Mark Perry, David Taylor, Anne Taylor, Bob Tuke, Emily and Patrick Walsh, and Ridley Wills.
