Editor's Note: This article has been updated as of 10:30 a.m. Wednesday to reflect changes made to University operations.
In the last month, there has been a rise in flu, norovirus and other respiratory illnesses within the University community, according to Student Health and Wellness and the U.Va. Health University Medical Center. They have reported an influx of influenza-like illness in the last several weeks and a rise in the number of cases from the same time last year.
The Lawn is the heart of the University — a place where we pass through towering columns on our route to class and gather for spirited snowball fights in the chill of winter. It is a vibrant nexus, serving as the string that ties the University community together. Whether you are a Lawnie or simply passing through, it’s easy to move through the Lawn each day without ever pausing to consider the rich history woven into this cherished space.
Oct. 11, 1947 was a historic day. For the first time in history, a Black football player played below the Mason-Dixon line for the visiting Harvard Crimson at Virginia. However, it would take another 17 years before the first Black athlete suited up for the Cavaliers.
Harrison Didawick was on a collision course with Virginia’s single-season home run record last year. He launched three homers by March, 12 by April and 17 by May. As postseason play neared, the junior outfielder inched closer and closer to Jake Gelof, who had set the mark at 23 the season prior.

‘Tis the season for internship applications, graduate school applications and the seemingly never-ending cover letters that accompany them.
Part of the Downtown Mall’s new architecture project, in a space that’s so small you could miss it, sits The Wich Lab. With its sleek and minimalist exterior that is lined with full-length windows, this unassuming gourmet sandwich shop has become one of my local staples, serving ingenious flavor combinations and well-balanced bites.
At the dawn of the 2025 season, Virginia softball entered the campaign with something new — high expectations. After receiving votes in multiple preseason polls, Coach Joanna Hardin’s squad entered opening weekend looking to get off to a hot start. The Cavaliers (3-2, 0-0 ACC) opened up the 2025 season on the road, playing their first game Thursday evening and last game Sunday afternoon. That hot start did not happen, but a 3-2 record at the Gamecock Invitational in Columbia, S.C. is nothing to scoff at.
Virginia women’s basketball hosted Virginia Tech at John Paul Jones Arena Sunday afternoon, looking to claim a series sweep. However, the result was far from it —- and instead was a disappointing rivalry loss that moved the Cavaliers (12-13, 4-9 ACC) to a subpar 12th in the ACC standings. The Hokies (16-8, 7-6 ACC) handedly defeated Virginia 87-62 in what was the Cavaliers’ fifth straight loss at home.
Under clear skies, hundreds of students came out to the South Lawn Friday for a highly-anticipated event — the Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan look-alike contest. The event was hosted by SWAP, a Contracted Independent Organization that promotes sustainable fashion on Grounds. The look-alike contest was the first of its kind at the University, furthering the recent trend of celebrity look-alike contests and spotlighting the thrift store aesthetic of cultural icon Bob Dylan.
They lined up, looking for the place and eventually finding it. It was a buffet with four stations — four cardboard boxes — serving all the same items. Banners. These were miniature versions of the large orange thing that later joined the rafters.
It was not quite the kind of basketball fans in John Paul Jones Arena might have been used to seeing. Ironically, on the newly-declared Tony Bennett Day, Virginia’s win over Georgia Tech came via a fast-paced, back-and-forth shootout, not one of the plodding affairs typical of most of Bennett’s teams.
No. 4 Virginia men’s lacrosse was not hindered by the cold and windy conditions Saturday in its first contest of the 2025 campaign. The Cavaliers (1-0, 0-0 ACC) crushed Colgate (0-2, 0-0 Patriot) 19-9 at Klöckner Stadium. Virginia’s new-look offense was the star of the show.
This weekend was an exciting one for Virginia track and field as the majority of the team competed at the East Coast Invitational in Virginia Beach — breaking quite a few meet and facility records. Meanwhile, junior Gary Martin traveled to New York for the Millrose Games and had an incredible performance in the men’s mile. His individual effort and the men’s 4x4 led to two new school records for the Cavaliers.
This weekend, No. 1 women’s swimming and diving hosted the Cavalier Invite — inviting Army, James Madison, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, Richmond, South Carolina, St. Bonaventure, Towson and William & Mary in an individual format.
After losing its first three ACC matchups of the season, Virginia wrestling got back on the right track Friday night by defeating Duke 39-0. The Cavaliers (5-4, 1-3 ACC) relied on incredible performances from junior Keyveon Roller and senior Gabe Christenson to take down the Blue Devils (4-13, 0-5 ACC) under the bright lights of John Paul Jones Arena. With 1,152 fans in attendance, Coach Steve Garland’s squad put on a show.
Virginia women’s lacrosse had a fruitful start to its 2025 campaign at Klöckner Stadium Friday afternoon. The Cavaliers (1-0, 0-0 ACC) handily defeated Liberty (0-1, 0-0 C-USA) 20-5. Virginia will be glad to add its first game to the win column ahead of what should be a routinely tough schedule.
The Charlottesville Police Department responded to a report of shots fired on the 500 block of 12th Street Northwest at 6:50 p.m. Friday, according to a safety advisory email sent by Timothy Longo, chief of the University Police Department and associate vice president for safety and security. The location of the incident is approximately a 17 minute walk from central Grounds.
