College students are increasingly feeling pressure to have a “productive” summer.
The University hosts dozens of talented student bands, formed from a strong culture of student self-governance and Charlottesville's bustling live music scene. Several Contracted Independent Organizations on Grounds are even dedicated to forming and endorsing these bands, such as University Records and WXTJ. University Records provides resources for students to perform at music shows through their own dedicated community, and WXTJ is the University's independent radio station that frequently hosts live music, tiny desk events and student-run shows.
Tired of eating the same dishes every week during the COVID-19 pandemic, I was forced to get creative. I started experimenting in the kitchen, swapping ingredients and adjusting proportions again and again to make old dishes feel new. My love for sashimi led me to discover the poke bowl, which I made over and over again, finding it a simple dish with endlessly replaceable ingredients that saved me from pandemic-induced boredom.
In Virginia’s first road game of the season, the Cavaliers (4-0-2, 0-0-0 ACC) found themselves in Georgetown’s defensive stronghold as soon as the ball dropped. In a back-and-forth battle defined by defensive physicality and backline saves, the Hoyas (1-2-2, 0-0-0 Big East) and the Cavaliers were both held scoreless after 90 minutes of action.

For nearly an hour Sunday morning, No. 5 Virginia field hockey had Ohio State exactly where it wanted as the teams faced off in Piscataway, N.J. The Cavaliers (2-1, 0-0, ACC) had the lead, their defense was absorbing pressure from the Buckeyes (2-2, 0-0, Big Ten) and in the third quarter, fourth-year goalkeeper Nilou Lempers made a save so spectacular that the announcers suggested it might be “one of the best saves of the weekend.” Then, in just over a minute, everything changed.
The Faculty Senate began its first meeting of the academic year Friday with a presentation from Jennifer West, dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science, and R. Marc Johnson, vice president for strategic initiatives in the Office of the President, on the University’s newly launched strategic planning process. The meeting also included updates from University President Scott Beardsley and Brie Gertler, interim executive vice president and provost, on the University’s dean searches and global presence.
After a 3-1 win against William & Mary Friday evening, Virginia entered day two of the VCU Invitational ready to pick up right where it left off. Taking the court against their host, the Cavaliers (3-1, 0-0 ACC) annihilated the Rams (1-3, 0-0 A-10) in straight sets, 25-13, 25-17, 25-22.
After being investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice, the University and the Justice Department arranged for the University to submit quarterly reports documenting its efforts to comply with federal civil rights laws. Across the second and third of these quarterly reports, the University outlined changes to student programming and admission processes and highlighted how these changes will expand beyond student programming to the University’s faculty. These changes are leading to a sole focus on objective assessments and neutrality, ultimately disregarding identity and diversity, harming students and faculty across the University. Within the context of the Trump administration specifically targeting higher education, and more specifically, minorities in higher education, “neutrality” refers to treating race and sex as irrelevant to institutional decision-making. This false image of neutrality shapes who is hired and who is valued in the student body by treating identity as irrelevant to merit, despite the unequal opportunities and experiences that shape applicants long before they reach the University. This distortion of the neutrality of institutional and academic excellence ultimately restricts access to the University across differences.
The University Health system became the first institution in Virginia to insert a temporary heart pump — an Impella — into a patient that is under 18. The procedure was completed by Dr. Michael McCulloch, medical director of the Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension and Mechanical Circulatory Support Programs and associate professor of pediatrics, and his team Aug. 10.
As a student, when I tell people that I live with my boyfriend, a look of confusion and bewilderment usually sweeps across their face.
While the first months of a new school year mean busier schedules and increased responsibilities, they also entail cozy nights with roommates and opportunities to watch some proper fall flicks. With vibrant Blue Ridge foliage and charming traditions like trips to Carter Mountain, Charlottesville falls are something special, marked by a gradual transition filled with autumnal hues around the city and spices in the air. Here are three essential watches for any reader as they prepare to witness the leaves outside their windows change from green to orange.
Junior Luke Burns had to pick two role models during a team activity this preseason. He wrote down his father — and fifth-year teammate Parker Sloan. What would each of them say in a hard time and in an easy time? That was the exercise.
No. 12 Virginia women’s soccer concluded its six-game homestand Thursday when they faced No. 10 Tennessee at Klöckner Stadium. The Cavaliers (4-0-1, 0-0-0 ACC) conceded early but battled back and secured a 1-1 result versus the Volunteers (4-0-1, 0-0-0 SEC).
Third-year outside hitter Reese Wuebker dominated early and often, piling up 12 kills, 12 digs and three aces, matching a career high, as Virginia volleyball opened the VCU Invitational with a 3-1 victory over William & Mary at the Siegel Center Friday afternoon. The tone she set resonated across the roster, extending the Cavaliers’ dominance in the series to six straight wins and pushing their all-time record against the Tribe to 22-21.
Without consulting students, the Karsh Institute of Democracy quietly added MAGA adviser Oren Cass to its roster of “Distinguished Practitioner Fellows.” The Institute’s own announcement calls him a “thought leader” on democracy. That characterization, and his hiring, is an embarrassment to our university.
Virginia spent the first quarter looking for a breakthrough. At the outset of their first game of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge in neutral site Piscataway, N.J., the Cavaliers (2-0, 0-0, ACC) attempted to work around Rutgers (1-2, 0-0, Big Ten) in a congested midfield as the two top 25 teams tried to connect with their offense. After a slow beginning, the result was a hard-fought 2-1 victory for Virginia, with both goals scored in the first half as they prevented a late comeback from the Scarlet Knights.
Student Council met Tuesday for their second general body meeting of the academic year.
