And he and I went from two big blocks of wood to a refined electric guitar. And so I built electric guitar that year and worked with a local luthier.
HONOR MEANING HOW TO
And I wanted to learn how to build guitars. People ran marathons, people learned to cook. And then my senior year of high school, my public school had a weird tradition of the senior project, which is supposed to be this ominous and difficult thing that you learned a skill or did something kind of daunting. And we ran that for about two and a half years. And so I started a landscaping company with my buddy, who lived down the road from me.
And so I said, 'oh, what can I do to, you know, make my time a bit more valuable?' And I said, well, I could cut grass. And you know, it was kind of fed up working $7.25 an hour.
As a sophomore in high school I was working a minimum wage job as a host at a restaurant. It's a it's a good group of aspiring luthiers and grass cutting. You know, I've, ironically, done both of those things. And that is, have you ever run a landscaping company or built an electric guitar? So I thought I would start by asking you the same question I ask every guest at the beginning of an episode. I'm thrilled to welcome Andy Chambers, fourth year student and the current Chair of the Honor Committee to today's episode of Inside UVA. And my hope is that listeners will ultimately have a better understanding of how UVA works and a deeper appreciation of the remarkably talented and dedicated people who make UVA the institution it is. This podcast is a chance for me to speak with some of the amazing people at the university, and to learn more about what they do and who they are. I'm Jim Ryan, the President of the University of Virginia and I'd like to welcome all of you to the sixth episode of Inside UVA. Often the sort of rhetoric is of the dark Honor Committee on the hill, who, you know, rules with an iron fist. Without giving away too much before listeners tune in and hear for themselves, we can tell you that Chambers also builds guitars and once ran his own landscaping company. In his conversation with Ryan, Chambers talked in depth about his role as chair and how seriously students and the University take the honor code.Īt turns lighthearted and serious, the discussion also veered into some surprising territory. When students enroll at UVA, each makes a commitment not to lie, cheat or steal, and the Honor Committee helps adjudicate accusations that a student may have committed an honor offense.
