It’s the end of the road

summer

The 2011-2012 year is finally over! Congratulations to all of our college and high school graduates from UVSA!

Our Intercollegiate Council ended one term of UVSA with the End of Year Banquet at Seafood Palace #2 two weeks ago, and now all of our staff have been enjoying a much-deserved break.  Finals are over, and thank goodness summer is about to begin.

I am the most excited, personally, to meet the new 2012-2013 UVSA staff next year.  New staff will be mostly comprised of new VSA cabinets from each of our member schools, college and high school alike, as well as Tet staff volunteers later on in the fall and winter.  Before then, however, summer is also one of the best times of the year for us because of two things: VAHSA and UVSA Leadership Camp.

Can I just take a moment right now and...
