A primary purpose of the University is to enrich the minds and lives of its students, and while many aspects of the University certainly contribute to this, faculty plays an invaluable role in fulfilling that mission. The faculty at the University excels at instilling a love of learning in their students, as they attempt to ignite a passion in students for the subject they have dedicated their lives to. These faculty members are also tasked with preparing students to enter a vast and globalized world where they must have the skills to apply that they have learned from their four years of studies.

I woke up last Tuesday morning ready for the best day of my life. It was no ordinary Tuesday — it was the First Day of Classes! I was ready for the fresh, the new, the exciting. Today, I would do everything for the first time of the year. I smiled at the ceiling for a while before rolling over to grab my phone and check Facebook. That’s when my world crumbled around me.

Fourteen months ago, Sen. John McCain tentatively agreed to guest lecture for a U.Va. Law School course about the Vietnam War this fall — a subject McCain had experienced intimately as a U.S. Navy pilot in the war himself. A terminal brain cancer diagnosis shortly afterwards derailed the plans. McCain, who had represented Arizona since 1987 and ran as the Republican nominee in the 2008 presidential election, died Aug. 25 after he stopped receiving treatment for the cancer.

I fall in love with places far too easily — it’s a weakness of mine. When people start dating, their imaginations run into ideas of what their wedding, family and lives would be like together. When students graduate college, they begin to see visions of where they want to work and what they want their careers to be. When I visit a new city, I piece together scraps of my observations and create a mirage of a life I want to live.

Real estate company Woodard Properties has abandoned its $50 million plan to build a development in downtown Charlottesville.
Developer Keith Woodard said that he was immediately ending the project, known as West2nd, in a press release from the Blue Ridge Group Tuesday. The decision was in light of “yet another unexpected delay” from the City Board of Architectural Review — who voted 5-3 in mid-August not to recommend the project for approval to Charlottesville City Council — which the developer deemed the “last straw.” West2nd was to be built on the parking lot that currently hosts the weekly City Market.

The University faces this challenge directly when addressing the legacy of its first president, Edwin Alderman. Though Alderman is notable for his leadership and contributions to the University community, an increased awareness of Alderman’s involvement with eugenics and ties to white supremacy has begun to overshadow his integral role in the University’s development, and complicates the community’s task of coming to terms with its history.

A few months before the violent events of Aug. 11 and 12 garnered national attention for Charlottesville, A.D. Carson moved from South Carolina to begin his new post as professor of Hip-Hop at the University. Now almost a year after the white nationalist “Unite the Right” rally, as the community and the nation still reckon with the events that transpired, Carson has followed up his late 2017 project with “Sleepwalking 2,” an album that meditates on the power of language in a world of strife and urges engagement with each of its tracks.
