Jefferson’s vision of a secular university, dedicated to enriching public life and sustaining the new republic, was both embodied in and transformed by the people who lived, worked, and studied at the University. Bringing together a trove of personal and administrative documents, as well as archival images of the university and three-dimensional digital renderings, JUEL invites users to discover the people and places of the University’s early years, stretching from its founding in 1819 through the end of the Civil War. https://www.kirtvondaacke.net/teaching daily 0.75 2020-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e37c734f0c22b79bf68f4/1601423513446-7ZO8GCDQEKZF0RUN2X6L/KvD+teaching.png Teaching Image courtesy of Eduardo Montes-Bradley (copyright © 2014) https://www.kirtvondaacke.net/vitae daily 0.75 2022-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e37c734f0c22b79bf68f4/1601059882184-SD0H5LBBO3KF68Q6DJ5U/KvD+Head+Shot+2018+cropped.jpeg Vitae Assistant Dean and Professor (History and American Studies), College of Arts & Sciences, University of Virginia https://www.kirtvondaacke.net/writing daily 0.75 2024-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e37c734f0c22b79bf68f4/1618277746250-L3PB70LMIZUQ3A7KFHJQ/Screen+Shot+2021-04-12+at+8.37.16+PM.jpeg Writing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e37c734f0c22b79bf68f4/1601240896452-1IA2TXCX1LLXOVP377LE/PCSU+Report+cover+2018.png Writing Co-author and lead Researcher/Scholar/Writer, University of Virginia President’s Commission on Slavery and the University Report to President Teresa A.
