The Appalachian Conservation Corps is focused on connecting young adults to stewardship of public lands and work closely with the USFS and NPS to create and fill AmeriCorps internships within these public lands. As part of recovery for hurricane Helene for the George Washington & Jefferson National Forest, there are several positions in SWVA that would be a great fit for the Class of 2027. Areas: forestry, visitor service, invasive species management, archaeology, GIS, and more. These positions allow members to get a foot in the door working with NPS or USFS, hands on experience, and an education award that can be used for student loans or continuing education.

Network with members of the UVA Wise Alumni Board. Catch a ride in Jefferson Loop beginning at 5:25PM.

In A Culture of Justice, Eric Thomas Weber shows how culture can enable or inhibit the pursuit of justice. Weber argues that there is a shared, public obligation to establish and maintain a culture of justice. Culture can be employed to threaten people's self-respect, to diminish their sense of positive power to pursue meaningful life plans. Weber also addresses problems of poverty and stigmatization as well as of racism and threats conveyed by means of public speech and the cultivation of hatred. Advancing John Dewey's idea that democracy is a way of life, not merely a set of political mechanisms, he draws implications for policies and practices related to poverty, education, free speech, and the inadequately named set of norms that we call "political correctness." A Culture of Justice offers numerous everyday examples and conflicts for the reader to consider.

Along with participating in the 5K, attendees are asked to contribute food donations to help support families in need. At least one donation item is required to register in the 5k. Scan the QR to access specific donation lists and the 5k course map. We encourage everyone in the UVA Wise community to get involved and help spread the word.
