Eight Schools

UVa Bay Game development was originally sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research.

The original faculty team included representatives from 10 departments and eight academic units at the University of Virginia. A majority of this group met every Monday morning at 8am for almost seven years to conceive, develop, test, and take lessons from the UVA Bay Game.
