Logan Hobbs, Compliance Manager in Financial Operations & Tax, was among the graduates of the 2023-2024 Cornerstone cohort who were honored at a graduation ceremony early this October. The Cornerstone Program aims to identify and nurture exceptional talent at UVA. Hobbs was part of a group that worked on Accessibility and Affordability at the School of Architecture.
