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:
- Connect with their advising deans and faculty outside of the classroom.
- Engage and network with the UVA careers team.
- 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.
