María J. Jorquera Hervás appointed Director of UVA Global First in Valencia

UVA Valencia First offers new first-year and new transfer students a new program of international study through our oldest and largest study abroad program, UVA in Valencia (founded in 1983). This unique opportunity provides well-qualified and ambitious students a carefully crafted plan of first-year study and the transformative experience of living abroad, offering students a compelling classroom experience with a hands-on exploration of the history, cultures, politics, and architecture of the host city. Congratulations to María J. Jorquera Hervás!

Screening and Talk-Back: "The Three Deaths of Marisela Escobedo"

Please join us for this unique opportunity to glimpse the gripping, tragic and inspiring life of Marisela Escobedo, whose assassination in front of the governor's office while advocating on behalf of her murdered daughter is captured in Carlos Osorio’s award-winning documentary, “The Three Deaths of Marisela Escobedo” (2020). On Tuesday, March 15, from 5-6 pm EST in the Latinx Student Center, students, faculty, and community members will come together for a small-group discussion with activist Laura Aragón about gender-based violence and restorative acts of justice.
