UVA
Long-wave light
UVA is the common abbreviation for the University of Virginia, a public research university in Charlottesville founded by Thomas Jefferson.
She got her undergraduate degree from UVA.
UVA also stands for ultraviolet A, the longer-wavelength type of ultraviolet radiation that penetrates skin more deeply than UVB: UVA rays cause premature aging. (Lowercase uva is Spanish for grape.)
