Golf is a game of patience, and no one understands that better than Class of 2023 alumna Riley Smyth.
Election Day Nov. 4 brought a blue wave that swept the Commonwealth, leaving the executive branch entirely in the Democrats’ hands and solidifying the party’s majority in the General Assembly. Going into the new year, Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger’s platform of affordability appears both widely popular and legislatively unobstructed. However, it is important to remember that Virginia is a purple state — a status which makes the success of a moderate Democrat like Spanberger both unsurprising and dependent on moderate governance. This is particularly important for Virginia’s public universities which have, in the past four years under Gov. Glenn Youngkin, been roiled with tumult and partisanship. Spanberger, in contrast, must recognize the importance of moderation, which uplifts, not denigrates, the institutional autonomy of universities like our own.
All students are aware of how strongly the University promotes student involvement. At some point during every admissions tour, potential Wahoos hear the spiel about the over 700 Contracted Independent Organizations the University has to offer. Yet, as students explore their interests throughout their time at the University, they will find it requires mental strength and commitment conveniently to even join many of these clubs. For many, the behind-the-scenes club process that they won’t tell you about in a tour is exceedingly draining for already-overworked students and much closer to hazing than the University would like to admit. With increasingly grueling application and interview processes, the University needs to begin recognizing the toll that recruitment for certain CIOs place upon students and enact tangible changes to reduce stress.
An occasional controversy is an inevitable occurrence in any large academic health system, but when concerns surface repeatedly, they signal something deeper. In Sept. 2024, a letter signed by 128 doctors addressed to the Board of Visitors raised concerns about compromised patient safety and a culture of fear and retribution at U.Va. Health, prompting the University to retain the Washington D.C. law firm Williams & Connolly LLP to conduct an internal investigation. Following this letter, last month, U.Va. Health was accused in a 105-page federal lawsuit of fostering a leadership-driven “culture of fear and retaliation” that includes extortion, fraudulent billing and prioritizing profits over patient care and safety.
Virginia wrestling turned in a successful Saturday at St. Edward High School — the alma mater of freshman Ethan Timar — in Lakewood Ohio, picking up a decisive 27-6 victory over Kent State. The Cavaliers (2-1, 0-0 ACC) dominated the Golden Flashes (1-1, 0-0 MAC) from the start, winning the first five bouts of the day and eight of ten overall.
The rehearsals for First Year Players, the University’s premier theater organization of entirely first-year and transfer student actors, is a hub of artistic talent. Bringing together star performers, musicians, directors, tech crew and more, all members of the student-run Contracted Independent Organization play a key role in crafting each semester’s production. This fall, the group set its sights on the musical “Anastasia,” which opens Thursday night.
Less than 24 hours after Coach Tony Elliott’s football team went into Durham, N.C. to beat Duke, Virginia volleyball headed down in the hopes of doing the same, and they were able to do just that. The Cavaliers (11-15, 4-12 ACC) won in four sets to the Blue Devils (5-22, 2-14 ACC) 25-20, 25-23, 25-22 and 25-23.
After a months-long legal battle, the Supreme Court of Virginia upheld a lower court decision in favor of Senate Democrats in a case regarding gubernatorial appointments to university governing boards across the state. This affirms the authority of Virginia Senate Democrats, who have blocked over 20 of Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s appointments to university governing boards since June.
Virginia swimming is about to enter uncharted waters. The Cavalier men’s and women’s teams will head to Knoxville, Tenn. for the inaugural CSCAA Dual Meet Challenge Friday through Sunday — a competition format set to put a tournament twist on college swimming.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin issued a sharply worded, three-page letter Thursday responding to Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger’s call for the Board of Visitors to pause the ongoing presidential search. Spanberger issued the statement Wednesday, in which she urged the Board to delay the appointment until after she takes office in January.
Spanish experimental pop artist Rosalía has cemented herself as one of the most innovative artists following the Nov. 7 release of her fourth album “Lux.” The album, which consists of 15 tracks, is Rosalía’s magnum opus. Blending classical music, experimental pop and traditional Spanish flamenco influences, Rosalía tells a story in four movements of life, love, violence and religion.
After a stagnant offense resulted in a historic upset loss to UMBC Thursday, Virginia is not dwelling on the past.
