From UVA Darden to Business Schools Everywhere: Thank You for Your Support
The Darden community has been overwhelmed by support on social media pouring in from peer business schools following demonstrations of hate and violence in Charlottesville last week.
After torch-bearing white supremacists invaded the University of Virginia’s historic Lawn on 11 August in a display of racism, hate and violence, a bevy of business schools responded with a very different message: support and unity for the Darden School of Business.
The School has been moved and awed by the outpouring of support from its peer schools: Thank you! The Darden community expresses its thanks to all who have stood in solidarity with Darden. See a roundup of some of the messages of support on social media below:
