This role will support the Office Manager by maintaining a welcoming environment, running the front reception desk and ensuring smooth daily operation primarily during evening and weekend hours in a part-time capacity.
Launched as part of UVA’s 2030 Great and Good Strategic Plan, the mission of UVA | Northern Virginia is to connect Grounds in Charlottesville with Northern Virginia and vice versa. UVA reimagined how the academic rigor of Charlottesville could be channeled north to create UVA | Northern Virginia – a knowledge tap of educational programs, research, mentorship, and events to support Northern Virginia working professionals in parallel with their careers. UVA | Northern Virginia is the center point of UVA’s efforts to better serve the commonwealth by bringing new and existing academic programs across disciplines and modalities – in-person, online, and hybrid – to Northern Virginia.
