Old Fashioned Field Trip

Welcome to the Academical Villiage of the University of Virginia!

CMC Washington Semester students took an old-fashioned field trip to the historic Charlottesville, Virginia—home to the University of Virgina, founded by Thomas Jefferson. Pictured here we have the Fall 2010 group in front of the well-know rotunda, a building carefully planned by Thomas Jefferson.

A tour given by a UVA student commenced the field trip. There is a very rich history behind the University, much of which is covered by the tour. Interim Director, Professor Courser, a UVA graduate school alum, was able to supplement much of the tour from the knowledge he gained while attending.
