UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIAThomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia (UVA) in 1819, which he considered to be one of his greatest achievements. Jefferson envisioned a new kind of public university, one dedicated to educating leaders in practical affairs and public service. Three U.S. presidents, James Madison, James Monroe and Jefferson, presided over the laying of the University’s cornerstone in 1817. UVA was the first university in the United States to use the elective course system. The University includes 11 schools in Charlottesville, as well as the College at Wise in southwest Virginia. More than 21,000 students are enrolled at UVA.
