Introduction to Advancement at UVA
Offered three times per year, this workshop is a central component of the Advancement Orientation Program. This program helps participants skillfully navigate our environment more quickly by teaching what advancement work at UVA is and why it is important, their role to play in that work, and the resources available to achieve success. All new hires in the UVA Advancement Community are highly encouraged to participate.
