Like a number of Harvard University students, Tina Fey graduated the University a virgin.
But that didn’t stop her from enjoying her time here — “a testament largely to the architecture,” she joked Saturday at the inaugural installment in President Teresa Sullivan’s Speaker Series for the Arts.
Before Fey began her speech, introductions were made by Vice Provost for Arts Jody Kielbasa and Sullivan, both of whom highlighted the importance of the arts in the modern world. As Sullivan drew her brief remarks to a close, Fey took the stage to thunderous applause and a standing ovation.
The hordes of students and community members who came seeking the witty, smart and biting humor for which Fey is known got exactly what they were looking for. Fey shared stories of the time she spent here at the University, watching “Into the Woods” on Friday nights in Clemons Library as part of an “abstinence program” she and her friend accidentally stumbled into.

An impressive collection of modern art has temporarily taken up residence on the second floor of the Fralin Museum. “Émilie Charmy,” an exhibition of work from the French artist of the same name, offers students and the general public a rare opportunity to explore the output of a highly influential, though slightly overshadowed, modern artist.

Anyone who has spent a summer in Charlottesville knows that the city, though it may quiet down, continues on after students leave for break. Charlottesville in the summer provides residents with a multitude of fun activities — peach picking, wine tasting and outdoor events on the Downtown Mall are only a few things that make spending a summer here a memorable experience.

By now, students who regularly pass by the Fralin Museum on Rugby Road have probably noticed a big change in the terrace in front of the University’s art museum. “Oriforme,” a monumental sculpture by the late Alsatian artist Jean Arp, on long-term loan to the University from the National Gallery in Washington, has taken up residence on the Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation Plaza, where it will remain for the next two years. The work has replaced Henry Moore’s “Seated Woman,” which occupied the spot since 2011.

Making a name for yourself as an a cappella group at the University is no small feat, especially given the ever-increasing number of these groups around Grounds, but the Virginia Belles, the University’s oldest female a cappella group, have nonetheless managed to steal the spotlight.

If you’ve ever stowed yourself away in Clemons Library during the wee hours of the morning, writing papers or studying for finals, you know what I mean when I say that Clemons can start to look and feel a little like a tomb around 3 a.m. If you’ve been in the library lately, however, you may have noticed a bit of a change to this crypt. “Identity,” a newly installed collection of student artwork displayed throughout Clemons, is the Student Arts Committee’s answer to the library’s drab aesthetics.

Let’s be honest. It’s pretty difficult to point to a film, play or television show centered around high school that doesn’t present what is colloquially known as “our turbulent years” in a melodramatic, angst-ridden way — looking at you, Perks of Being a Wallflower. In truth, this is what I half-expected walking into the UpStage theatre at Live Arts Saturday evening to see the closing performance of Speech and Debate. By intermission, I knew I had been mistaken.
