“It’s time.”
In a 3-2 vote May 4, the Charlottesville City Council reversed a December ruling by the City's Board of Architectural Review, granting “The Mark at Charlottesville” a necessary Certificate of Appropriateness for construction. The decision paves the way for LCD Acquisitions, LLC — the private developer of The Mark based in Athens, Ga. — to continue with plans to develop the seven-story student housing project in the historically Black neighborhood of Fifeville.
Family trees are a wealth of secrets, lies and legacies, ripe with potential for a captivating novel. Sometimes, one generation is not enough to paint a full picture, and so the author may have to travel back in time or expand into the future. These types of tales are referred to as multigenerational novels, and they often incorporate a deep sense of culture, politics and history into the intimate vessel of complicated family dynamics. Offering the virtue of many different perspectives and a widening of context, multigenerational stories contain a wide breadth of wisdom and insight. Here are three novels by authors from three different countries that offer vibrant reflections on life through vastly different narratives.
Last season, Virginia’s conference play ended in the quarterfinals of the ACC Championships — in 2026, the story remained the same, this time against the Hokies. In a Commonwealth Clash rematch, the sixth-seeded Cavaliers (38-13, 13-11 ACC) fell to third-seeded No. 17 Virginia Tech (45-9, 19-6 ACC), 3-1.
Kacey Musgraves has always been very good at being exactly who she wants to be. From her 2013 hit “Follow Your Arrow,” which made waves for its progressive subtext, to her 2018 Grammy Album of the Year “Golden Hour,” she has explored country, pop, folk and more while becoming known for genuine and vulnerable songwriting. Her 2024 album “Deeper Well,” however, lost a little of that earlier-career lyrical complexity, veering somewhat saccharine.
Due to a cybersecurity event allegedly executed by ShinyHunters — a criminal hacking group — Canvas is currently down for the University and approximately 9,000 schools nationwide. Information involved in the data breach “consists of certain identifying information of users at affected institutions, such as names, email addresses, student ID numbers [and] messages among users,” an Instructure report reads.
I would have never imagined myself writing this column four years ago, because four years ago, I had no idea I would end up graduating from the University. My high school friends spent most of their senior year May nervous, but ultimately excited, for college to start. I, on the other hand, felt bitter and sad and lost. I was committed to New York University but growing more and more certain that I had made a huge mistake. In the spring of freshman year, I applied to transfer schools and ultimately decided on U.Va. My mom will say that my decision was heavily motivated by the multiple bookstores on the Downtown Mall, and she’s not that far off base. In truth, I didn’t really know what I was getting into until I was in it.
With the start of the fall semester, fourth-years’ countdowns to graduation slowly begin. Subtle reminders of the year's end peek through small moments and countless memories woven into University student life. Besides nostalgia, for many, this period motivates a sense of urgency to take advantage of remaining opportunities and embrace University cornerstones before their time on Grounds comes to a close.
Anyone who listens closely on a given Saturday on Grounds will likely hear the soundtrack of a student band. The University harbors an unparalleled student band culture, resulting in the creation of various musical groups that span across ages, Greek letters and friend groups, united by the shared passion of playing live music together. However, the oft-deemed “best four years of one’s life” can pass quickly, leaving these bands at a loss after graduating members leave Grounds.
At the tail end of finals season, many students have left Grounds, and many more are in need of a break from their academic obligations. As parties wind down, students are left looking for ways to spend their downtime beyond studying. Iconic rapper Soulja Boy filled that gap Tuesday night at a sold-out show at the Jefferson Theater, delivering a magnetic performance.
In an interview on the eve of the tournament, Coach Joanna Hardin commented on the unpredictability of this time of year, especially for the ACC.
In 2025, Virginia baseball went 1-3 in games that went to extra innings. That same year, the bullpen cost the Cavaliers multiple other key games by blowing leads against teams such as Oregon State, Boston College and NC State. These losses proved to be critical daggers in Virginia’s season, as they fell on the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble come the end of the season.
Twenty years following the original film’s release in 2006, “The Devil Wears Prada” recently returned with a highly anticipated sequel. The reappearance of Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep — which marks Streep’s first main cast role in a sequel to date — set high expectations for the film. The film follows a journalistic shift from print to digital manifesting in the fictional magazine Runway, addressing the similar real-life media issues that arose in the decades since the first film. Simultaneously, the sequel had high expectations to meet in carrying on the original comedy drama’s legacy and surviving the unofficial cinematic sequel curse.
The territory is more familiar than ever. Virginia men’s lacrosse is back in the postseason for the seventh time under Lars Tiffany’s leadership, where they will face Georgetown in their first game Sunday at 7:30 p.m.

“I think I learned pretty early on that … you kind of want to change the world at U.Va.,” Keoni Vega, Class of 2026 president and fourth-year College student, said.
Assoc. Media Studies Prof. William Little has spent nearly 20 years teaching his students how to analyze film and draw deep connections to wider cultural and political contexts. To the dismay of many students — both those who have taken and who have yet to take one of his famed classes alike — Little taught his final class at the University in the Spring 2026 semester. After teaching wide-spanning genre courses from the gangster flick to the Western, Little later gained his notorious “cult following” of students from his seminar on the hit television show “Breaking Bad.”
