UVA Women at the End of an Era

These four University of Virginia graduates bask in the glow of accomplishment. Dressed in their ceremonial togas, they strike an intriguing pose, with the two women in the middle forming triangle shapes using their index fingers and thumbs. At UVA, the triangle symbol is significant, often representing the balance of body, mind, and spirit.

Graduation at UVA is steeped in tradition. One of the most anticipated is the Lawn Ceremony, where graduates walk down the historic Lawn to receive their diplomas. Another is the Rotunda Sing, where graduating students join together in song at the steps of the iconic Rotunda.
