March 12, 2026 75th Anniversary Celebration Dinner

This festive evening will begin earlier than usual at 5:45 with the cocktail hour featuring passed hors d’oeuvres. The evening will include pre-recorded video congratulations from U.S. Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, as well as a thank-you champagne toast to our colleagues who have led us over the past seven decades and a musical interlude by members of the Charlottesville Opera.

The highlight will be an insightful conversation on "The Changing Global Order and Key Challenges in Today’s U.S. Foreign Policy" by two distinguished scholars and leaders:

• William J. Antholis, Director and CEO of UVa’s Miller Center of Public Affairs, and

• Allan C. Stam, University Professor of Public Policy and Politics at UVa’s Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy.
