Founders Fair

Sponsored by the Frank Batten School of Public Policy, the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Batten Institute at the Darden School of Business, and the Galant Center for Entrepreneurship at the McIntire School of Commerce, the Founders Fair is a summit of groups on and off grounds that contribute to the entrepreneurial spirit of Charlottesville. The Fair includes pitches, demos, and plenty of opportunity to stop and chat with over two dozen student groups and local ventures.

Gatherings like this one are rare. Whether you're a local or a student at UVA, don't miss your chance to meet Charlottesville's coolest companies and brightest minds.

- Find a job or join an organization. Many of the ventures will be hiring and all the student groups are looking for hard-working new members.
