Community Affairs Committee
+ Meet the Chairs: Jeffrey Roberson and Paige Curtis
Jeffrey Roberson is a first year Spanish major in the College. He is extremely excited to serve as Co-Chair of the Community Affairs Committee and looks forward to strengthening bonds between UVa and the Charlottesville-Albermarle area through cooperative programs. Aside from Student Council, he is an active volunteer with Madison House’s Athletics and ESL programs. Jeff’s favorite Charlottesville pastime is hiking Humpback Rock.
Paige Curtis is a rising third year Media Studies major from Winchester, Virginia. This is her third year serving Student Council, and she’s excited to strengthen and illuminate relationships among the student body, the University community and greater Charlottesville. In addition to Student Council, Paige works as an intern in Athletics Media Relations, is the philanthropy co-chair of her sorority, and holds many positions with the non-profit organization Destination Imagination. She will never say no to a game of Scrabble or watching a good movie.
The Community Affairs committee seeks to strengthen and develop ties between the University community and the greater Charlottesville community. Whether it is through service, support of local arts and music, or engaging local business, Community Affairs hopes to encourage greater mutual acknowledgment and utilization of all of the many resources that UVa and Charlottesville have to offer.
