Join the Contemplative Sciences Center, the International Studies Office, and UVA Athletics for a program featuring the 2023-2024 Citizen Leader Fellows final presentations, on Friday, April 26, 2024. Students from the international student, student athlete, and transfer student communities identified a pressing challenge to the well-being or flourishing of their peers or larger communities and spent their fellowship designing and implementing programs to overcome those challenges with evidence-based tools. It will be the first public event held in the new Contemplative Commons.
This event is open to the public.
