This fall we had the opportunity to catch up a friendly face on Grounds, YWLP Alum Alex Johnston. Alex graduated from the College of Arts and Sciences in 2013 with a degree in Sociology and Women, Gender, and Sexuality.
As the UVA community mourns our losses, we know that we are also impacted by news of violence in other locations.
Thanksgiving and winter break present opportunities to take care of ourselves, and that will be especially important given the recent traumatic events at UVA.
