Legislative Advocacy

A Place That Changes Lives

At Tyler, we spend each and every day helping our students reach their goals. It’s not just what we do, it’s who we are.

Reaching Out to Legislators

Each year during the General Assembly’s regular session, Tyler students meet with some of the legislators who serve our service region. During those meetings, our students share their stories and discuss how Tyler impacts their lives and benefits the community.

How Can You Help?

  • Communicate with members of the General Assembly who represent your locality. To find your legislators and their contact information, please visit the Virginia General Assembly home page, and click on “Who’s My Legislator” (at the top of the page).
  • Email Holly Walker if you would like to join the college delegation on future trips to the Virginia General Assembly.
