Jim Ryan:
Hi I’m Jim Ryan, President of the University of Virginia and today is Move-In Day. I'm going to go out and see if I can meet some families, maybe help them move in and check out if they maybe even know who I am. See you.
Hey there! I’m one of the Greeters, are you first-years? Can I ask you some very quick questions?
Students:
Sure!
Ryan:
What are you looking forward to the most?
Student 1:
Football games!
Ryan:
Are you new here?
Fazel:
Yeah.
Ryan:
What’s your name?
Fazel:
Fazel.
Ryan:
Fazel? Nice to meet you.
So I hear there’s a new president? Do you know anything about him?
Student 2:
We’ve gotten emails about him, but I’ve never seen him or met him.
Ryan:
FIt must be getting annoying to get all those emails.
Student 2:
(Laughing) a little...
Fazel:
I got a couple of his emails.
Ryan:
Kind of annoying emails?
Fazel:
I didn’t read them.
Ryan:
You didn’t read them? Oh, good. Yeah.
Can I give you guys a hand?
Family 1:
Grab anything you’d like.
Ryan:
I am going to leave the fridge here if that is okay.
So I hear there’s a new president?
Student 3:
Yeah.
Ryan:
What do you hear about him?
Student 3:
I honestly don’t know much about him.
Ryan:
I hear he’s from Harvard?
Student 4:
Oh, really?
Ryan:
Kind of a snooty place, don’t you think?
Student 4:
Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard.
Ryan:
Yeah I know, me too.
Can I say hi to your dog?
Family 2:
Sure, please do.
Ryan:
Your dog’s not coming here, right?
So I hear NG体育 has a new president? You hear anything about him?
Student 5:
Not really.
Ryan:
Do you know his name?
Mom:
Jim Ryan.
Ryan:
That’s right. You probably don’t have much in terms of expectations...
Student 5:
Nah.
Mom:
You look a little bit like him.
Ryan:
I do?
Are you hoping that you’ll get a chance to meet him at some point?
Student 6:
Sure, that’d be cool.
Ryan:
Well I’m Jim Ryan, I’m the new president.
Student 6:
(Laughing)
Ryan:
My name’s Jim Ryan
Student 3:
Nice to meet you.
Ryan:
Nice to meet you too, I’m the new president.
Father:
You are?
Ryan:
I am, yeah, no kidding!
Are you hoping to meet him at some point? Or do you not care that much?
Fazel:
Are you President Ryan?
Ryan:
I am President Ryan. Very nice to meet you. Best of luck to you. I’ll see you around Grounds.
Nice to meet you guys.
Student 7:
Awe...I recognized him from the Insta
Ryan:
Well it’s really nice to meet you, I’m Jim Ryan.
Student 4:
Oh, really? Oh Goodness...
Ryan:
Very nice to meet you.
Mom:
Nice to meet you too.
Student 8:
Nice to meet you, sir.
Ryan:
Nice to meet you as well. Hey I had a great time meeting meeting some families and doing some moving. I hope to meet many more of you over the next year and now I’m afraid I got to go back to the Pavilion and ice my back a little bit.
