Hoos@Home Academic Engagement Program

Engaging together in community

Building on a pilot conducted in select first-year housing associations in 2023-2024, the Hoos@Home Academic Engagement Program is designed to offer opportunities for advising, connection, and engagement outside the classroom, encouraging learning and community.

In the 2024-2025 academic year, Hoos@Home was offered in the following first-year and upperclass housing areas:

  • Gibbons/Fitzhugh (first-year)
  • Kellogg (first-year)
  • Lile-Maupin (first-year)
  • Tuttle-Dunnington (first-year)
  • Watson-Webb (first-year)
  • Gaston/Ramazani (upperclass)
  • Lambeth (upperclass)

Residents do not need to sign up for Hoos@Home, but will be able to participate in and take advantage of the program's resources and support simply because of where they are living.

 

Program Goals

Residents will have opportunities to:

  1. Connect with their advising deans and faculty outside of the classroom.
  2. Engage and network with the UVA careers team.
  3. Be part of a flourishing living environment that encourages learning, networking, and community!

 

Program Activities

The program has included free faculty lunches, drop-in career and academic advising sessions, Pathways public service workshops, and more!

Details for Fall 2025 will be shared during the summer.
