Before the start of spring classes in early January, around 1000 female University students brave freezing temperatures and icy streets to participate in formal sorority recruitment. Grounds, the Corner and Rugby Road are filled with the sounds of bangles tinkling, boots stomping and coats zipping as girls adorn their favorite outfits and visit the various chapters governed by the University’s Inter-Sorority Council.

It has been an eventful year to be the Editorial Board for a student newspaper at the University — this summer, our University became national news. The forced resignation of former University President Jim Ryan raised fundamental questions about institutional autonomy, academic freedom and shared governance, each of which seemed to be compromised with Ryan’s resignation and the ensuing months of controversy. And while we now have a permanent president in Scott Beardsley, the questions and challenges which have defined this semester will continue to resonate.

As the January Term begins, opportunities to study abroad open up for students, including a program based in Dubai. The program emphasizes institutional, alumni and networking ties as part of its expanding international presence and is marketed as an opportunity for cultural immersion, professional development and global citizenship. Yet, beneath this rhetoric of opportunity is a disturbing contradiction. The fundamental problem with the University’s Dubai program is that its partnerships with institutions in the United Arab Emirates require negotiations that legitimize state institutions abroad. When a university partners with a foreign government or its universities to send students there, it is not merely offering a travel opportunity. Instead, it is signaling that the host state is a respectable place for academic exchange, investment and professional growth — a signal which overlooks oppression and active engagement with genocide.

There’s no better way to warm up after spending a day sledding on Mad Bowl than eating a hot, hearty meal. One of my favorite snow day dishes to make is this Southwestern twist on Potatoes Au Gratin, a wintry French classic. My mom taught me how to make this recipe, and I have countless memories of this incredible dish warming both my heart and my stomach. I truly hope it can do the same for you during “Snowmageddon.”

The Board of Visitors appointed Scott Beardsley, current dean of the Darden School of Business, as the University’s 10th president Dec. 19, following former University President Jim Ryan’s resignation and an approximately five-month search. Despite having a long-term career in the private sector working in consulting, Beardsley shifted towards education leadership in 2015 and, more than 10 years later, will begin his position as the University’s president today.

Over the course of its expansion these past years, the University has seen professors take a variety of stances on the use of generative artificial intelligence, ranging from complete bans to zero regulations. Karen Hao, an award-winning journalist who covers the impact of AI on society, gave a talk last semester highlighting how the University could better integrate AI literacy — an understanding of how AI works and what consequences exist — rather than simply using or encouraging it. Because there is no singular or correct approach in an educational world of individualized, class-specific policies, the University must mandate AI literacy training on the ethical, environmental and practical concerns for generative AI.

The use of artificial intelligence avatars has emerged as one of the latest trends in the way AI is changing education. The Cognitive Science-Based Learning Hub program at the University — which teaches study strategies to first-year students — began using AI avatars as online teachers beginning in the Fall 2025 semester. As these various AI tools and models gain traction, the question remains — what role do AI avatars play in the future of education?

I failed an exam for the first time as a third-year in college. And the worst part? It was a class filled with mostly first-years.

The Virginia General Assembly swore in a new delegation of representatives Jan. 9. For the first time in four years, Democrats entered the upcoming legislative session with a governmental trifecta, controlling the House of Delegates, Senate and the Governor’s Mansion. With this power, some are salivating at the idea of overthrowing decades of Virginia law and ramming through sweeping economic and social agenda items, absent any Republican resistance. Consequently, Democrats risk colossally misinterpreting the 2025 election as a broad mandate for these sweeping policies. If Democrats are serious about governing Virginia, they need to temper their chimeric eagerness to build Rome in a day and stick to sensible policies that are proven effective.

Graduate quarterback Chandler Morris is hoping to get one more year of eligibility — but it has yet to be determined if he will receive another season. Perhaps Morris will, allowing him to captain the Cavaliers once more in 2026. But if Morris just played his final college game Saturday in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, he went out on a high note.

Correction: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that FARMacy's menu highlighted a commitment to the fusion of Mexican cuisines and various other "global fares." The menu does not mention "global fares." Additionally, a previous version of this article incorrectly stated that FARMacy sells Poppi, a generic prebiotic soda. FARMacy does not sell Poppi sodas. The current version of this article has been updated to reflect these changes.

When the calendar flips, the year left in the past hardly ever feels over with. Loose ends linger, memories settle unevenly and resolutions arrive before there’s been time to process what came before. The new year brings plenty of expectations, often pushing for immediate reinvention, but these songs offer space for reflection before rushing ahead.

Wielding electric guitars and rolling rock beats, Sam Fender has built a career on singing the untold stories of North England’s working class, covering everything from local politics to struggles with mental health. By nature of these complex topics, the majority of Fender’s catalogue paints a dark picture, trapped in the cyclical struggle of his hometown. His recent deluxe edition of the award-winning record “People Watching,” released Dec. 5, takes the singer into uncharted emotional territory as he moves beyond the narratives of his hometown with unfamiliar experiences characterized by newfound fame.
