Naturalist Named Dean at UVA Darden

A new dean for UVA’s Darden School of Business isn’t just any business guru—she’s an award-winning naturalist dubbed the “Garbage Queen,” with roots in solid waste management and a passion for uncovering local history. Set to speak Saturday at 2 PM at the Oakland Museum, she’ll explore how past decades shaped her community and what’s been lost along the way. Free to attend, this talk blends unexpected leadership with deep local insight—and proves diverse backgrounds can reshape even the most traditional institutions.
