About The Blue Ridge Center

Our goal is for all students to thrive at the University of Virginia. Our mission is to help them succeed by promoting four core values: viewpoint diversity, open discourse, intellectual humility, & empathetic engagement. Expanding intellectual diversity isn’t about subtracting voices; it’s about adding them. Increasing viewpoint diversity means addressing gaps—gaps which arise from the courses that are not offered, the professors who are not teaching, the readings that are not assigned, and the questions that students are not asked to grapple with. Blue Ridge addresses these gaps through its programming, hosting speakers who address a broad range of topics and convening reading groups and workshops small enough to let students scrutinize important topics and viewpoints that are too often neglected. All students can benefit from our programs, and every student is invited and welcome to participate in them.
