Opposing the iconic Rotunda, Old Cabell Hall stands as an unmistakable landmark on Grounds. Home to the University’s premier performance space, the hall serves as a hub of musical celebration for the Charlottesville community. But upon stepping into the building, many visitors are struck initially not by music — but by artwork. Wrapping around the lobby is “The Student’s Progress,” a mural by artist Lincoln Perry that pays homage to the student experience at the University.

Charlottesville City Council is facing a troll problem. Anonymous users virtually joined a City Council meeting last month to say racist slurs and praise Adolf Hitler. Quickly afterwards, this issue was resolved — through the removal of the virtual public comment option altogether. Virtual comment is an important feature of City Council’s hybrid meeting structure, where residents can participate in meetings over Zoom. Although City Council had decent intentions, the decision to turn the virtual option into a webinar does more harm than good — instead of a trolling problem, now, the City Council faces accessibility problems which limit the community’s ability to provide elected officials with feedback. Charlottesville City Council must reevaluate its solution to trolling in order to avoid endangering an essential platform vital to Charlottesville constituents’ voices.

Grappling with disabilities and chronic illnesses can pose a huge challenge to navigating college. While items like wheelchairs or walking canes may visually signify disabilities, many University students face challenges invisible to the naked eye as they look for necessary support from their peers and professors that they might need to succeed on Grounds.

Following a disappointing Sunday at Klöckner Stadium that saw Virginia men’s soccer upset in the third round of the NCAA Tournament at the hands of unseeded Indiana, the Cavaliers’ (11-4-4, 5-2-1 ACC) season came to a close. Through a campaign filled with signature victories and puzzling defeats, Virginia will look back on 2023 with both pride and regret. While the program navigated untimely injuries and showed flashes of greatness — especially defensively — against top competition in the nation, fans may feel as if the Cavaliers underachieved based on the program’s sky-high standards and talented roster. Though it is not quite time to sound any alarms — most programs would be thrilled to be in Virginia’s position — back-to-back underwhelming postseason performances place pressure on Coach George Gelnovatch to deliver in 2024.

On my first visit to the Backyard by Devils Backbone Brewing Company, not far from the Corner, their laid-back atmosphere hits the backyard theme spot-on — with dogs welcome at their outside patio seating and huge yellow Adirondack chairs inside. While I found their paninis to be on the slightly pricey end, I think this is the perfect spot to grab a drink and appetizers while watching a game with friends.

Grounds is really expansive, and simply going from class to class can require a decent amount of traveling. As a first year who lives in the Gooch-Dillard dorms, I promise you I have had to cover a long distance just to get to class or a dining hall. Most times, I choose walking as the way to get to places. While it may not be reasonable in every situation, I believe, if it is possible, walking is such an underrated option to get around Grounds. Walking may have its cons, but I am going to tell you why it can be such a wonderful aspect of being a student here. Hopefully, the next time you have to walk somewhere you can look at the experience in a more positive light because it can truly start off your day on the right foot — yes, even in the frigid cold.

A few weeks ago, I was walking home from central Grounds. I took the same path that I always do. I strolled past the Rotunda then crossed the street to walk alongside the Corner. As I navigated my way through the students and restaurants that always enliven the Corner, I realized how familiar and ordinary it felt. Yet only two years ago, I remember feeling so intimidated by it all. I didn’t know where Roots or Grit were. I didn’t know The Virginian was nicknamed “Virg” or what in the world “Survivor Hour” could be. But somehow, in the blink of an eye, that once alien world became my own. Looking back, I spent so much time trying to do it all and often felt like I was falling short of college expectations. But little by little, I’ve learned to savor the present and be okay with missing some things.
