UVA’s Office of Engagement selects five recipients for 2022-23

Each year, the University of Virginia’s Office of Engagement hosts a Distinguished Scholars Award Reception to express appreciation to all the faculty who volunteer their time throughout the year. For 2022-23, the Office selected five Distinguished Scholars and our very own David Carr, Director of Blandy Experimental Farm, is among the group.
