Foundations Week

Before first-year students step foot in a UVA classroom, they are welcomed through the doors of the Center for Christian Study.

Foundations Week is a four-day program designed for incoming first-year students. Foundations Week eases students’ transitions into college life by providing Christian community at UVA hours after they’ve moved into their first dorm room.


Join us for Foundations Week 2023!

Why not start college with a dozen new friends!? During Foundations Week, students share meals together, participate in Bible studies, and get acclimated to Charlottesville through an around-town scavenger hunt. Foundations Week 2023 will be held August 14-17.

Applications are due on June 1, 2023. After June 1, new applicants will automatically be added to our waitlist.
