The past week’s flurries have shown that Winter weather is officially here, and with Thanksgiving behind us, now is the perfect time to get under a blanket with hot chocolate or warm apple cider and watch a seasonal movie. For those who don’t celebrate Christmas or simply want a break from holiday films — it may be a challenge to find a movie that matches the atmosphere of this time of year.
Amidst the frozen flurries and finals studying of the week, Wednesday night’s Grand Illumination celebration provided a shining light in the winter chill for Charlottesville families, students and community members alike. A longstanding tradition, the 28th year featured a myriad of festivities before the main event — the lighting of a giant tree in front of Ting Pavilion. While the winter weather last week pushed the event to Wednesday, the wonderful whimsy of the evening prevailed.

Student Council concluded its final meeting of the semester Tuesday by unanimously approving three legislative pieces, including the formal recognition of 45 new contracted independent organizations after months of internal review. Representatives also approved the appointment of a new co-director for Mutual Aid — a University network of community members created by Student Council that aims to provide support to students in crisis. They also passed a resolution calling on the University to establish clearer guidelines for releasing technology updates, responding to student concerns about changes made earlier this year with the WahooEats app.
After losing their Special Status Organization status last year, the Virginia Guides Service — formerly known as the University Guide Service — now provides historical tours of Grounds independent of the University. As they move into a new era of independence, the new Contracted Independent Organization faces numerous changes.
In its first game as a nationally-ranked team in 661 days, Virginia entered its matchup against UMES with a chance to cap off its first ten games with another decisive home win.
With his retro-country feel and introspective lyricism, singer-songwriter John R. Miller is planning to deliver one of his signature intimate performances next week at the Jefferson Theater. Miller will be opening for Americana pioneer Robert Earl Keen Wednesday. Miller hails from the panhandle of West Virginia, but he has since moved to Nashville and expressed excitement about his heading back towards the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Early on in the 2025-26 season, Virginia women’s basketball has demonstrated its high ceiling. Veteran offseason additions have given Coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton’s Cavaliers (8-3, 1-0 ACC) much-needed stability after a roller-coaster-like experience last season, which oscillated between ranked victories and grotesque losses.
At their last meeting of the semester, the Honor Committee reflected on the positive publicity for Honor that resulted from their co-sponsorship with the Lighting of the Lawn Committee.

Until Saturday, Virginia had been a team that thrived off big moments. Whether it was a game-sealing interception against Florida State or a game-winning touchdown against Louisville, the Cavaliers found a way to win games down the stretch.
A Virginia resident who goes by the alias Ahmed sat in the harshly-lit living quarters of the Immigration Centers of America facility in Farmville earlier this year. Charlottesville Tomorrow reported how he was surrounded by rows of metal beds as one of several asylum seekers from Charlottesville being held there while awaiting their court date. While Ahmed was ultimately released last month, he should have been at home with his family and lawyers preparing for the case months earlier. Instead, the initial bond granted to him by a local immigration court for his temporary release was denied by the Department of Homeland Security.
The full Board of Visitors met Friday to hear reports from Interim University President Paul Mahoney on the University’s agreement with the Justice Department, the state of research at the University and his vision for the University moving forward.

The Board of Visitors Finance Committee met Friday to hear from various members of University leadership and the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service. University leadership shared updates on the debt profile and endowment fund and the Weldon Cooper Center presented a report on the University’s impact on various regions in the state and the state as a whole.
Three things are guaranteed in this world — death, taxes and the Board of Visitors’ overbearing influence. The most recent revelation of this heavy-handedness comes from Porter Wilkinson, vice rector of the Board. The recent Cavalier Daily report, detailing what numerous people familiar with the process saw as Wilkinson’s “unusual” conduct in last spring’s provost search, confirms this Board’s willingness to play fast and loose with established organizational structures. While they do indeed possess great influence, a Board member’s bully pulpit has no place in the search for a provost.
Virginia men’s and women’s squash finished up a tough early-season stretch of matches at the McArthur Squash Center, where they faced two Ivy League opponents — usually the most skilled conference in college squash. The No. 4 men’s side (7-2, 0-0 MASC) lost to No. 3 Harvard but drubbed No. 10 Cornell. On the women’s side, the No. 6 Cavaliers (6-2, 0-0 MASC) were also defeated by the No. 1 Crimson and pulled through against the No. 6 Big Red.
