Student activism at the University of Virginia
The University of Virginia has a long history of student activists who formed radical environmental, religious, and political groups to champion various social changes. An especially intense period of student activism occurred in the 1970s during the May Days strikes against the Vietnam. War. More recently, the Curry School of Education and its Youth-Nex Center held a nation-wide conference in 2019 to promote student activism at UVA and beyond.
