Reciprocal Club of the Month Your USC University Club is a member of the Association of College and University Clubs (ACUC). This means that you enjoy reciprocal privileges at more than 100 private university clubs across the U.S.A., and around the world, within the ACUC network. To bring this wonderful benefit closer to you, we will highlight a different ACUC club in each newsletter.
Featured Club: The University of Virginia Colonnade Club Valentines Day is a perfect excuse for a romantic getaway. Why not travel to one of the historic and romantic clubs in the United States. With historic overnight accommodations in the heart of the University of Virginia, the Colonnade Club is the perfect place to stay.
Founded in 1907 to "enhance social interaction and encourage intellectual enrichment" among faculty, the Colonnade Club continues that mission in the 21st century. The purpose of the Faculty Club is to foster social, cultural, and intellectual interchange among its members and to promote the welfare of the University and its faculty. In fulfilling this mission, the Club utilizes and serves as steward for the historic facilities provided to it by the University. Today, the Club has grown to nearly 1,000 members and provides a wide variety of opportunities to socialize, network, and feel more "at home" at U.Va.
The Club is housed in Pavilion VII, the oldest building on the Lawn as well as the only pavilion that does not serve as a faculty residence. A two-and-a-half year restoration of the pavilion was completed in 2001, giving Club members a beautiful space in which to enjoy events or simply relax during the day. Pavilion VII also features eight guest rooms, each with a private bath, which members may reserve for overnight visitors.
One of the greatest benefits of Club membership is the chance to get connected to the U.Va. community. Whether you are hoping to form new friendships, learn from the experiences of seasoned professors, or simply mingle with others who share your interests, the Colonnade Club is the perfect place to find what you're looking for.
