Spotlight Stories on Exceptional Employees


UVA Human Resources' Spotlight stories help UVA employees get to know UVA HR better by showcasing one HR employee -- who they are, how they and their team’s work impacts the UVA community, and any other wonderful takeaways that can benefit our employees. From time to time these Spotlights include other exceptional employees from across Grounds, who deserve recognition for their contributions to the UVA Community.

HR Military Veterans

Veterans Day is November 11, and we honor and recognize all U.S. military veterans who have served this nation, including military veterans who currently work across Grounds at UVA. We also honor and acknowledge the sacrifices made by the families of the men and women who have served.

UVA HR Veterans Recognized

  • HR Veterans

    Amongst this group deserving your recognition are a small number of veterans and spouses of veterans working within the Human Resources department. We asked our HR veterans and military spouses to reflect on what it meant for them to serve in the military or support a military veteran, and how that experience has impacted their work at UVA. Here is what they had to say.
