The University Guide Service stands in solidarity with the Asian and Asian American communities at UVA, in Charlottesville, and beyond. Within our organization, we are matching donations up to $250 toward Red Canary Song, a grassroots collective of Asian and migrant s*x workers providing support to communities through labor rights and mutual aid.

The University Guide Service has made the decision to not recruit for the Spring 2021 semester. This is not a decision that was made lightly, but we are taking this time to prioritize the health and safety of our members, as well as to evaluate and improve our structure and programming. We thank you for understanding, and we look forward to meeting you in the upcoming Fall semester.
