Preserving Thomas Jefferson's Legacy at the University of Virginia
Simply outstanding speech???
Vice-President Pence is a good man with a powerful message. I hope all of the UVA. Students present really listened.
For the most part they did. He got a standing ovation at the end; virtually all stood. No boos at all. Very dissimilar to other schools.
While I wasn’t able to attend the meeting, I did listen to all the talks and speeches. This was an outstanding celebration of the Council’s first year. It should be a launchpad for continued positive influence on the discourse and progress at UVA.
Thank you for your support. I think we are making good progress for all loyal alumni, students, and parents who truly want diversity of thought at the University.
