The University of Virginia’s College at Wise

Since 1953, when the University of Virginia’s College at Wise was founded to bring higher education to the children of the coalfields, the College has become a worthy expression of Thomas Jefferson’s dream for his Academical Village in Charlottesville, that talented youth of the Commonwealth would have access to top educational opportunities.
