TRUSTEES PLAN EVENTS TO EASE GRADUATESÕ
TRANSITION FROM UNIVERSITY LIFE

	CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., April 15 -- Graduating students can
begin to bid farewell to the University of Virginia and establish
contacts in their new locales through City Groups, an inaugural
program starting next week.
	Designed by the 1995 class trustees for graduates who will
be moving to major U.S. cities, the program will allow students to
network, obtain information about their new hometowns and gain a
list of other graduates who will be living nearby.
	City Groups meetings are planned for students going to
Houston; Chicago; several West Coast sites, including Los Angeles
and Seattle; and numerous East Coast cities, including New York,
Atlanta and Washington, D.C.  The events will be held nightly at
locations off-Grounds.
	ÒThe class trustees felt it was important to help ease
studentsÕ transition from college life to city life,Ó said David H.
Kaefer, a program organizer.
