Phil
Jackson (above) has been a music fan since
he was young, growing up with parents who
sing and a brother who plays the
piano. When Jackson began his studies at
the University of Virginia’s McIntire
School of Commerce, he found harmony by
combining his passion
for music
and his affinity for business to create his
own recording group. After Jackson graduates
on Sunday, he will be starting a job in advertising,
working on strategic
account
planning, and
working
in the music business at night. His long-range
plan includes a degree in entertainment law
and working as a manager, writer and/or producer. Full
story.

Catherine
Neale (above), a 2005 Truman Scholarship
winner, was among 25 other University of
Virginia students who traveled to hurricane-ravaged
New Orleans to spend one week doing hands-on
relief work as part of a two-week
January term course. After graduation this
weekend, Neale had planned to go to work
for an executive search firm in New York
City,
but
now she will return to the broken
city to concentrate on community rebuilding
and
sustainable
development. Neale still plans on taking
the job and will later attend law school
and eventually pursue a career in higher
education. Full
story.

Todd
Aman (above) is a feminist and proud of it.
Passionate about social justice, Aman became
an intern at the University of Virginia Women’s
Center this past year out of concerns about
societal attitudes toward and treatment of
women. The double major in political theory
and religious studies has used his college
years to explore intersections between those
subjects and gender and minority status.
After he walks the Lawn on Sunday, he will
put himself to the test in the real
world.
He plans
to work for a year, possibly as a paralegal,
and apply to law school with an eye toward
public policy. Full
story.
