Storm Recovery Resources

UVA Wise is dedicated to supporting those members of our community who are impacted by flooding.

Please share the resources below and utilize them to show care for our fellow Cavaliers who have been affected by this tragedy.

Support for our students:

If you have ongoing concerns as a result of the Hurricane’s impact, don’t hesitate to take advantage of the following support: 

• Submit a CAVS Care Report if you or someone you know in our community is experiencing a non-academic concern.
• Contact Mike Shell, senior director of undergraduate studies, if you have academic concerns such as class absences. 
• The Counseling Center is available to support your mental well-being. 
• Visit Smiddy’s Cupboard and Smiddy’s Express for non-perishable food items and toiletries, which are available to all UVA Wise students, including commuters and residential students.
• If you are in need of additional financial support due to the storms and flooding, please email advancement@uvawise.edu to inquire if you may be eligible for funds.

Support for our employees:

We look forward to having you back on campus, but should the storm impact your ability to report to work, please contact your supervisor. Remember that our Family and Employee Assistance Program is available to support your well-being.

Ways to help:

When UVA Wise students and employees hear about severe weather that impacts their friends and neighbors, they often wonder what they can do to help. Although anyone is able to contribute as they see fit, we encourage those wishing to make monetary gifts to visit the College’s giving page, select the “greatest needs” category and in the notes section mention severe weather. The following are just a few ways our Cavalier Community will support those impacted by the floods. We encourage you to join us.

On campus

• Starting Tuesday, February 18 stop by Books & Brew or the first floor of the Student Center to write a Cavs Care Card which will be sent with care packages.
• Monday, February 24 come to the Student Center at 10 a.m. to assembly pet and baby care packages. No purchases needed just your time to assemble and make a Cavs Care Card.
