The University is in the process of installing solar arrays on the new School of Data Science building and a University facility on Old Ivy Road, continuing a commitment to sustainability. Solar arrays are already present at other key locations across Grounds — the arrays help reduce energy costs and align with the University's 2030 Sustainability Plan, which aims to make the University carbon neutral by 2030.
The University received 42,093 early action and early decision applications for first-year admission to the Class of 2028, marking a 3.4 percent increase from the 40,713 early applications received for the Class of 2027. Applications — which were due by Nov. 1 — included 10,593 Virginians and 29,334 out-of-state applicants.
After a strong performance at the Southeast Invitational in which eight wrestlers placed against stiff competition, Virginia wrestling had its sights set on the 2023 Mountaineer Invitational. The invitational — which was hosted by Appalachian State in Boone N.C. — featured wrestlers from the Cavaliers (0-0, 0-0 ACC), the Mountaineers (0-1, 0-0 SBC), Air Force, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian. With the level of competition at a slightly lower standard than in their previous large meet, Virginia put forth a far stronger showing.
Virginia women’s volleyball snapped its recent losing streak, coming back from a 2-1 deficit to defeat Notre Dame in five sets at Memorial Gymnasium. Despite the Fighting Irish (10-14, 4-12 ACC) forcing the match to a 14-14 scoreline in the fifth set, the Cavaliers (10-15, 3-12 ACC) maintained their composure and came out on top, earning their third ACC victory of the season.
In a video sent to the University community, University President Jim Ryan formally invited community members to a tolling of the Chapel bells at 12:55 p.m. Monday in memory of football players and University students Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry, who died in last year’s shooting.
Infusing the Fralin with captivating illustrations of familiar childhood tales, “Figure and Fable: Aesop Through the Ages” dives into a world of Aesop’s fables — the exhibit is a compelling collection of various authors and artists’ reimaginations of the classic fables throughout time.
With one of the University’s favorite traditions upon us — the football game against Virginia Tech — here is a list of other unique traditions and aspects of life at the University. Virginia Tech could only dream of being a part of these University traditions.
Smyrna is one of Charlottesville’s hottest new restaurants, and for good reason. They serve artfully simple Mediterranean-Aegean dishes in a relaxed, upscale atmosphere. I dined at Smyrna with my mom and dad over Parent’s Weekend. Though Smyrna is pricey, it’s a great spot to visit if your parents are in town to help foot the bill.
In the student elections of 1979, third-year history major John S. Serpe ran for the office of Student Council president, one of the most influential student leadership positions on Grounds. Luckily for Serpe, he was the only candidate on the ballot, making his unopposed campaign a mere formality — a march to victory before his inevitable ascension into office.
Over the past few years, there have been many calls to remove Confederate and other hateful statues that fail to reflect the values we claim to hold as a nation. In Charlottesville, community activists have spent the last few years working to remove racist statues, like those of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, and these activists have been successful in their endeavors. This work is necessary and must be continued, but it is not enough on its own. The City of Charlottesville must now be intentional about what it chooses to leave in the wake of these segregationist symbols. Specifically, the City should be looking to remedy the disturbing lack of female statues in Charlottesville — today, only one statue of a woman exists in Charlottesville, an anonymous woman’s head as part of an abstract sculpture titled “Family,” located outside of an old jail, formally known as Historic Albemarle County Jail No. 5. Women deserve to be equally represented in our communities through an impactful approach that goes beyond symbolic or ambiguous statues and honors actual, real-life historical women who changed our world or bettered their communities.
A year after the tragic shooting that resulted in the deaths of three University students and football team members, the University community continues to memorialize and reflect on the lives of Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler and D’Sean Perry. Support networks are looking to finalize funding allocations to those most affected by the tragedy and student leaders have provided gathering spaces and memorial events to offer support on this anniversary.

It will be exactly one decade Nov. 19 since Creigh Deeds, Charlottesville’s state senator, lost his son Gus Deeds to suicide. Gus Deeds was a victim of a critically overcrowded and underfunded health system, and his suicide was a shocking and tragic event that impelled significant and novel legislative changes to the Commonwealth’s mental health policies. For example, Senate Bill 260, spearheaded by Creigh Deeds, guaranteed that Virginians admitted to hospitals under temporary detention orders have the right to receive timely psychiatric consultation, even if the hospitals are at capacity. This was an exceptionally important bill. However, today, Virginia still remains severely behind other states in regards to the quality of mental health care provided to residents — 34th in the country for access to care and, more disturbingly, 48th in the prevalence of mental illness in young people. On the surface, Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s new Right Help Right Now plan — which laudably invests in community-based health initiatives — has the potential to serve as a salient solution to this ongoing crisis. Youngkin’s failure to legislate with an eye towards equity, however, only worsens Virginia’s mental health crisis for the marginalized communities who are most in need of the assistance offered by this plan.
Virginia men’s basketball took on Florida Friday night in Charlotte, N.C. in its second game of the season. The Cavaliers (2-0, 0-0 ACC) relied on their bench — namely freshman forward Blake Buchanan — to get downhill and to the free-throw line against the Gators (1-1, 0-0 SEC). The teams shared back-and-forth buckets down the stretch until Virginia forced two turnovers to close out the game, coming away with a nail-biting 73-70 victory.
The College of Arts and Sciences held a remembrance space for members of the University community Friday in honor of the approaching one-year anniversary of the Nov. 13 shooting that left three students dead — football players and University students Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry — and two others injured. Instead of holding a formal program, the event offered 90 minutes of open space in Old Cabell Hall for students and faculty to reflect, commune and cope.

Sometimes, whether we have a social life or not, it can be hard to exist without feeling self-conscious about not having friends when doing things like eating or walking to class. But in times like these, it isn’t about whether you actually have friends or not — it’s about whether other people think you have friends.
