-: You know, I think UVA is special
because of the students.
I know everyone will say that,
but the variety of students, the ambition
that these students have, the backgrounds.
Sometimes when I sit down with a first-year
and I realize all that they've accomplished
in high school, I'm sort of blown away.
But I also see such potential in our students.
And it's our student leaders and every other student.
It's not just our student leaders
in whom I see so much potential.
I think UVA is a special place
because, obviously, because of The Lawn.
We're sitting here in the Colonnade Club,
here at UVA today that Thomas Jefferson built
as the first building here at UVA.
And that makes it special,
but then it's the students who populate The Lawn
and the faculty that live on The Lawn.
Those things make UVA a pretty special place.
