UVA Alumni Memory Wall

2006 Woody 4th floor Girls

Alumni of the UVA chapter, the Eta Sigma Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. lead a protest against the police brutality inflicted upon undergraduate Brother Martese Johnson. After Martese Johnson was attacked by liquor control agents at the Corner, a number of protests ensued including this one during UVA’s Black Alumni Weekend in March of 2015. This photo was taken in front of the house of the UVA President.

Oder and gray-haired, I am looking forward to meeting the fossils from school (40 years!!!) and previous alumni reunions. I moved from VA to PA 10 years ago and I don’t get to visit the Grounds too often.

In the picture, I am the one in bunny ears just before walking down the lawn in 1987.

The Three Amigos Reunited

Finding community across the UVA Black experience – Organization of African Students Dance Team

BAW of the past

We decided to purchase this bench to support UVA and in honor of our friendship and 30th Reunion.

Donna Weingart ( School of Education ‘71) and Frederick (Rick) Greene (A&S’66, MED ‘70) met at a mixer in October 1969 at Alumni Hall. We always loved to show our children, grandchildren and friends the exact spot wheee we met!! Now back on Grounds to celebrate Rick’s 66th Reunion from the College. Great memories!!

Celebrating BGPSOs 10th Anniversary with all the grad students we created a mural and drew an entire poster for all to sign. It made us grad and professional students truly feel connected. Then we came to our first BAW a few years later and celebrated in true wahoowa style.

In 2012, there was an Obama rally in Charlottesville. My friend Nikardi and I wore our UVA gear. We were in line and asked if we were students. When we said yes, were chosen to sit right behind President Obama on stage. We were so excited and were able to get some great pictures. It was especially memorable because it was the first Presidential election I was able to vote in.

Before the game, pure Wahoo energy at our Copeley residence in 1999.

CLAS 2002 mini-reunion. We all met in Balz 410 & 420. Still great friends over 25 years later

YAR dance edition

Ran into an old dance teammate!

I lived in Munford as a first year at UVA. I had the best hallmates and this is one of those random moments we were hanging out in my dorm, and someone snapped a picture. Miss it so much!

Final Exercises UVA 2001. Walking the Lawn. I remember thinking how did 4 years fly by so quickly! And the feeling of walking down the Lawn with everyone was exhilarating!

Capturing a quick moment with everyone during Final Exercises on the Lawn 2001, in front of Thomas Jefferson.

I remember a wonderful, beautiful day that graduation of 1986. I was not sad, because I knew I would be staying at UVA for another 4 years to attend medical school. I was not thinking that day about where my parents would find parking or other crucial details. Somehow, they were right where they needed to be for the ceremony! I see photos of current UVA graduations with all the colorful balloons! I would definitely have been a fan if someone had only thought of balloons back when we graduated!

Letter home

This is a photo of Mark (Col class of ’86) and Carolyn (Boggs) Patrick (Col class of ’88) in Dabney 2nd Right on Carolyn’s birthday. Married in 1988 following Carolyn’s graduation, we both served in the Navy (via UVA NROTC) and in August 2026, will have been married 38 years. Two of our three adult children are also UVA graduates, and we now live near Charlottesville, having chosen Central VA as forever home!

I remember a wonderful, beautiful day on the Lawn for our graduation. I was not sad, because I knew I would be at UVA another 4 years for medical school. That day, I was not thinking – where will my parents find parking – or other crucial details. But somehow they were right where they needed to be! I see photos from current graduations with all the colorful balloons – I would have so been a fan of that if someone had only thought of it back then!
