No matter a student’s background, disposition or sense of preparedness, coming to college marks a big life change. From adapting to a new environment crawling with strangers to deciding which clubs and communities to join, a student’s transition to the University — a place seemingly infinite in resources, people and potential — can be intimidating.
At Virginia, game days are more than just a tradition — they are a defining part of student life. Whether it is singing The Good Ol’ Song after a touchdown at Scott Stadium, cheering in unison at John Paul Jones Arena or watching a top-ranked team compete under the lights at Klöckner Stadium, sports games bring the community together.
Athletic Director Carla Williams stood amid a press gaggle Wednesday, orange and blue balloons behind her, after another coronation for a new head coach. For just the second time in the last three months, she spoke to the media.

A recent Cavalier Daily news article recounted how, during a recent meeting, Board of Visitors member Doug Wetmore discussed the importance of viewpoint diversity in our academic community. I share Mr. Wetmore's commitment to fostering diverse perspectives in academic discourse. However, measuring such diversity presents significant challenges, and we should be cautious about drawing conclusions from incomplete or misleading metrics.
Chris Pollard, suit-clad and confident, did not enact some grand stop-and-stare entrance moment. He entered subtly. But when he first walked into the Jim Rutrough Club Lounge at Disharoon Park, he stopped to shake someone’s hand. Then he did it again and again, shaking the hand of everyone he encountered on his way to the podium. It took multiple minutes.
Wes Anderson is not afraid of off-the-wall premises for his movies. His films are notorious for telling unique stories filled with rich, quirky characters and magnificent set pieces, and yet, his more recent works have fallen flat in the eyes of critics and audiences alike. The most common critique of his latest movies is that they have the style but lack the substance that made his earlier works so resonant and iconic.
Out-of-state students face an array of travel decisions when traveling to and from the University. While in-state students are often a car ride away from home, their out-of-state counterparts have had to find efficient and affordable ways to travel across several states just to get back home or back to school.
Two conflicting initiatives led by University alumni, faculty, parents and students have launched within a month of each other at the University. They each express opposing views — ResetUVA launched first, calls for the removal of University President Jim Ryan and Wahoos4UVA, launched in response is in support of Ryan.
Consistent with a national trend, the Commonwealth of Virginia is experiencing a heightened prevalence of the viral infection measles. Charlottesville has seen the two of the state’s three confirmed cases according to the Virginia Department of Health. While Virginia’s number of cases is far lower than that of states facing significant outbreaks, such as Texas, it has still gotten the attention of local and state public health experts who are concerned about this peak in measles cases.
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day or Liberation Day, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. In 2021, President Joe Biden declared June 19 a federal holiday, marking the date in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas received news of their freedom, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
After June 1 when longtime head coach Brian O’Connor bid farewell and packed his bags for the SEC, Virginia baseball was left in disarray. With a disappointing season in the near past and players entering the portal left and right, it was clear that a strong new hire was necessary to replace the iconic O’Connor. It took just nine days for the next leader of the program to be named in Chris Pollard, and he is the perfect representative to carry on the dominance of Cavalier baseball that occurred the past two decades. Pollard checks every box of qualities someone could wish for in a head coach.
The NCAA 2025 outdoor track and field season ended this weekend out west in Eugene, Ore. with 11 Cavaliers there to compete. It was not a particularly easy meet for anyone and was not quite as satisfying of an end as some might have hoped. Still, three Virginia athletes gained first team All-American Honors — senior Margot Appleton and juniors Gary Martin and Celia Rifaterra.
When students leave Grounds for the summer, Facilities Management gets to work. Renovating major roads and buildings where both foot, car and bus traffic frequent the most can be a challenge during the year and opting to do it during the summer is a way to minimize disruptions. 13 projects are ongoing or have been completed thus far, but the total number is subject to change.
According to legend, Robin Hood masqueraded around the forests of England with his trusty sidekick Little John with the mantra “steal from the rich, give to the poor.” While this story may or may not contribute to the namesake of prominent Corner restaurant “LittleJohn's,” this business — newly closed — was a remarkable departure from the Robin Hood ideology. The restaurant’s high prices made the sandwiches affordable for only the students with particularly deep pockets, or stomachs. However, this story of overpriced food is present all along the Corner in businesses like “Thyme and Co.” and “Roots.” For years, this was a successful business strategy. Until now — LittleJohn's closed this May, marking a potential shift in the economics of the Corner away from high, luxury pricing. Other businesses should heed the warning.
As new first-years gear up for orientation, it turns out that their University experience will miss out on one thing that many current students and alumni consider to be a cornerstone of the University’s Corner.
