Julie March was not content to only gather information
about agrarian reform in Brazil and publish it
in an academic journal. Instead, she went back
to Brazil to share the information she found,
for the benefit of local farmers. Her work has
earned her the notice of National Geographic,
which will feature her as one of its “Next

What
does your teenager plan to do this summer? Hang
at the pool? Binge on TV and junk food? Another
trip to camp? The U.Va. Health System has another
idea. Once again this year, it is offering the
Junior Volunteer program for teens ages 14 to
17. Approximately 70 will be selected from those
who apply by March 28. After being interviewed,
those selected will gain valuable experience in
health-care work while providing the Medical Center
with thousands of hours of service. For those
interested, there will be an informational meeting
March 12. Full
story.
