It’s been a busy year! Our Darden community has been hard at work shaping responsible and thoughtful leaders. We’ve seen the first class of Part-Time MBA students graduate, hosted exceptional events at UVA Darden DC Metro and guided hundreds of students through the application process.

Congrats to Our New ‘Hoos!
