We welcome you to the many opportunities at the University of Virginia and in the Office of Development and Public Affairs.

The University of Virginia is distinctive among institutions of higher education. The University of Virginia’s outstanding faculty, students and staff have achieved national stature for teaching, research, and public service.

In the Office of Development and Public Affairs, we directly impact the University by providing leadership and coordination of all University fundraising, constituent engagement programs, communications, as well as public and media relations.

As the most prestigious public university in the nation, the University of Virginia is justly proud of its culture and history.  Our founder, Thomas Jefferson, envisioned the University of Virginia as “an institution on which the fortunes of our country may depend.”  In the development and public affairs community, we hold ourselves to this higher standard of excellence.  We are an ambitious, determined, dedicated group of individuals.  We are friendly, approachable and supportive.  We have a great sense of spirit for our institution and are proud of its history and beauty.  We thrive on challenge, value our diversity, and consider ourselves privileged to be in such a rewarding and fulfilling line of work.  Most of all, we are proud of the ethics instilled at the University of Virginia, including the famed student-run honor code.

We feel equally passionate about living our mission everyday: to ensure U.Va.’s future by engaging our constituents, telling the University’s story, and inspiring the minds, hearts and generous support of those we serve.
