WHAT WILL THE WEEKEND LOOK LIKE?
Upon acceptance, each of the 20 students will be matched with a current UVA student who will serve as a mentor for the student, keeping in contact with them over the summer and answering any questions they may have leading up to the program. The mentor will also serve as an overnight host for the student, meaning they will provide housing during the 3 days and 2 nights.
