Alexander Pradhan
What’s up new Hoos? Congratulations and welcome to UVA to the Class of 2023 and transfer students! My name is Alexander Pradhan, and I am a rising fourth-year studying French and Economics. I am from Danville, Virginia, which is a small town on the border between Virginia and North Carolina. I have traveled all over the world to places like the Dominican Republic, France, Ireland, Nepal, Dubai, England, El Salvador, and many U.S. states. Most recently, I studied abroad in Lyon, France. One of my favorite memories was a weekend trip to the island of Corsica with three friends I met during the trip. On Grounds, I am involved with Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity, University Salsa Club, Madison House, and the Latinx Student Alliance. Next year, I will be an RA in old dorms (a few of you may be my residents!). In my downtime, I enjoy running and working out, listening to music (#audiophile), writing poetry, anything outdoors, and watching movies/television shows. I am eager to introduce you to your new home for the next four years (or however many years you will be here)! You will grow as a person and as a student at UVA, and you will meet people that will become family. The semesters to come will test you, but they will be rewarding. Whether you find your passions the minute you get here or after some time, don’t stress about it. Each and every one of you is capable and successful. You all deserve to be here. Reach out to me with any questions, comments, or concerns about whatever is on your mind. For now, welcome to the UVA family and I am thrilled to meet all of you!
