4th year GVSC intern Sara Dunklee had one question for UVA students: "Imagine UVA free of sexual violence, what would be different?”

About

Members of our UVA community come here from all over the country and the globe, and we know that violence in the news outside of Charlottesville impacts us all in multiple ways.

We, as a community, often focus narrowly on students when we speak of the presence of women at UVA. Doing so overlooks the enormous contributions of the women faculty and staff who have made our University a more welcoming and inclusive place.

This year I’ve had multiple opportunities to travel and commune with like-minded individuals both locally and nationally.

A Tale of Two Cities has long been my second favorite Dickens novel, so while I know he has a more seasonal one, it’s to this one that I’m drawn as I look back on what 2022 brought to the Women’s Center.
