![]() While I get to be the face of the University in many ways, the work isn’t always fun. But I think the thing that keeps me motivated is doing some of the hard things. What keeps you motivated, and what gets you through the doors of Peabody every day?Įnoch: So it’s a really fun job. Ryan: So I imagine carrying that much energy to your work all the time can get tiring. But I am pretty sure that that started with your tenure as the president here. And then I sort of took that on the road at graduation.Īnd then it became a thing at summer orientation. When you came on board, I started calling myself “the unofficial University’s hype girl” because I wanted to like, be behind you hyping you up as the new person on the scene. Ryan: So you are, as I mentioned in the introduction, known by many – and I’ve heard you describe yourself – as “the University’s unofficial hype girl.” So how did you get that title? And what does the job entail?Įnoch: Well, I’m pretty sure it started with you.Įnoch: You didn’t suggest it, but I’m pretty sure it started with you. She is the mother of a rising baseball star, a regular at Plaza Azteca, an avid podcast listener and someone I’m truly grateful to call a friend.Įnoch: Thank you so much for having me. And all those who meet and know Tab, know that she embodies the generous, altruistic ideals the award represents. She was the recipient of the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award in 2018. She’s an associate dean of students, and the beloved leader of orientation and new student programs. By our good luck, she eventually made her way to Charlottesville, and has been working at UVA for over two decades. Tab is a pillar in the UVA community hailing from Boston, Massachusetts. Today I have the privilege of introducing you to Tabitha Enoch, widely known as the University’s – and sometimes my personal – hype girl. 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. I’m Jim Ryan, the president of the University of Virginia, and I’d like to welcome all of you to another episode of “Inside UVA.” 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. Ryan: I feel like that four or five times a day. Tabitha Enoch: Have you ever been in an experience where you felt like the audience was like they were in on a joke against you? President Jim Ryan: Tell me about your experience interviewing comedian Nathan Fielder in 2019.
