Finals — which occurred between Monday Dec. 9 and Tuesday Dec. 17 — can be a challenging time for students. To alleviate some of the stress that accompanies this period, organizations such as the Honor Committee, the Writing Center and Class Councils offered a variety of handouts before finals concluded, including free snacks, energy drinks and coffee. Students who used these resources said they appreciated this support as they finished classes and completed their exams.

If something, somewhere along the rollercoaster of this Virginia men’s soccer season, tickled your memory, there’s probably a good reason why. The season featured the same early-season struggles, early-October resurgence and high NCAA Tournament seed as the previous two. And the same conclusion, a loss at home to an unseeded team.
For Virginia women’s basketball, shaking a frustrating losing streak is paramount. The Cavaliers (6-5, 0-1 ACC) have now lost four straight games, with the latest blemish coming against Boston College Sunday at John Paul Jones Arena.

Virginia squash competed in its first two contests away from the McArthur Squash Center Friday and Saturday. The No. 6 women’s team (4-2, 0-0 MASC) was defeated by No. 1 Harvard, but took care of business handily against No. 11 Dartmouth. On the men’s side, the No. 6 Cavaliers (4-2, 0-0 MASC) were victorious versus the No. 5 Crimson and No. 12 Big Green in close affairs.
After a two-week break from competition following a loss to No. 8 Michigan, the Virginia wrestling team was back in action with duals Friday and Saturday. The Cavaliers (4-1, 0-0 ACC) started off at home with a 25-11 win over Pennsylvania and then took a short drive to Lexington, Va., Saturday to beat VMI 40-3. The two wins restored Virginia’s momentum, and the team continues to look much improved this season.

Additionally, University President Jim Ryan announced a $20 million commitment from Board member John L. Nau III.

Virginia women’s basketball struggled once again in its third consecutive loss Thursday, this time against Auburn. After leaving the Discover Puerto Rico Shootout with tight losses against Washington State and Wyoming, the Cavaliers (6-4, 0-0 ACC) struggled against the Tigers (6-3, 0-0 SEC) in the SEC/ACC Challenge. Although Virginia brought the score within three points in the final minutes of the game, it was once again unable to pull off a last-minute win.

Thanksgiving wrapped up last week, and the Mariah Carey-festive vibes era has officially begun. With temperatures down, lights up and spirits high, not even pesky final projects and exams can dampen this holiday season. Last week, I celebrated quality time and togetherness with friends and family, and entering December, I am committed to keeping those good feelings rolling. If you’re like me and don’t want to wait for winter break to get into the holiday spirit, here are some ways to experience the joy of the season right here in Charlottesville.
Sunday evening, Virginia volleyball gathered to watch the NCAA selection show, which announced the 64 teams selected to compete in the NCAA Division I women’s volleyball tournament. The Cavaliers, who went 21-10 in the regular season and a respectable 11-9 in the ACC, were on the cusp of their first postseason appearance since 1999.
The Honor Committee transitioned to a multi-sanction system in July 2023, marking a historic shift from the single-sanction model that had governed the University’s honor system since 1842. The new approach replaced the automatic single-sanction — a two semester leave of absence at the time — with a range of sanctions tailored to the specifics of each case, offering options from rehabilitative measures like educational seminars to more punitive actions such as suspension and expulsion.
As the sun sets earlier and earlier, you might be tempted to grieve the lost hours of sunshine. Unlike the first half of the semester, walking to class now means bundling up in a mulitlayered, marshmallow-like outfit, and attending an evening discussion means walking home in seemingly the dead of night. But despite the wind chills and shorter days, there are actually reasons to celebrate this time of year.
Coach Tony Elliott turned to graduate quarterback Tony Muskett with the hopes that he would deliver a spark for the reeling Cavaliers against archnemesis Virginia Tech. Instead, Elliott’s squad flamed out. With the loss, Virginia (5-7, 3-5 ACC) came up just a game short of bowl eligibility, while the Hokies (6-6, 4-4 ACC) eke out a postseason bid for a second straight season.
In its last match of the regular season, Virginia volleyball faced off against Boston College at Memorial Gymnasium. This Saturday match was the second battle between these ACC foes — the first of which was a win Oct. 27 — and also the second time the match went to five sets.

For Virginia women’s basketball, it was the same old story once again. Missed shot after missed shot resulted in an abominable team shooting percentage of 39 percent. After falling to Washington State Friday, another awful performance on offense doomed the Cavaliers (6-3, 0-0 ACC) Saturday. This time, Virginia lost to Wyoming to finish 1-2 in the Discover Puerto Rico Shootout in San Juan, Puerto Rico. With the Cavaliers struggling to score, the Cowgirls (4-4, 0-0 MWC) claimed a 71-66 win.
