According to Forbes, 80 percent of New Year's resolutions fail by the beginning of February. The common and widespread failure of these lofty resolutions has prompted University students to reflect on why these goals so often fall apart.
The Justice Department sued the Commonwealth Dec. 29 over a state law that allows undocumented immigrants to receive in-state tuition at public universities. In its argument, the Justice Department said that current law gives the immigrant students an unfair educational benefit over students that are U.S. citizens and pay out-of-state tuition. Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) entered into a consent agreement with the federal government Dec. 30, just a day after the lawsuit was filed.
NC State and Virginia had similar, though also very different, offseasons. After underwhelming seasons for both ACC programs, both hired a coach from a tournament mid-major and both made big splashes in the portal as a means of getting back to the top.
As Virginia settles into ACC play, Coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton and her squad continue to rely on their height and depth, kicking off the new year with another conference victory.
To the Editor,
Before the start of spring classes in early January, around 1000 female University students brave freezing temperatures and icy streets to participate in formal sorority recruitment. Grounds, the Corner and Rugby Road are filled with the sounds of bangles tinkling, boots stomping and coats zipping as girls adorn their favorite outfits and visit the various chapters governed by the University’s Inter-Sorority Council.
It has been an eventful year to be the Editorial Board for a student newspaper at the University — this summer, our University became national news. The forced resignation of former University President Jim Ryan raised fundamental questions about institutional autonomy, academic freedom and shared governance, each of which seemed to be compromised with Ryan’s resignation and the ensuing months of controversy. And while we now have a permanent president in Scott Beardsley, the questions and challenges which have defined this semester will continue to resonate.
As the January Term begins, opportunities to study abroad open up for students, including a program based in Dubai. The program emphasizes institutional, alumni and networking ties as part of its expanding international presence and is marketed as an opportunity for cultural immersion, professional development and global citizenship. Yet, beneath this rhetoric of opportunity is a disturbing contradiction. The fundamental problem with the University’s Dubai program is that its partnerships with institutions in the United Arab Emirates require negotiations that legitimize state institutions abroad. When a university partners with a foreign government or its universities to send students there, it is not merely offering a travel opportunity. Instead, it is signaling that the host state is a respectable place for academic exchange, investment and professional growth — a signal which overlooks oppression and active engagement with genocide.
There’s no better way to warm up after spending a day sledding on Mad Bowl than eating a hot, hearty meal. One of my favorite snow day dishes to make is this Southwestern twist on Potatoes Au Gratin, a wintry French classic. My mom taught me how to make this recipe, and I have countless memories of this incredible dish warming both my heart and my stomach. I truly hope it can do the same for you during “Snowmageddon.”
For No. 21 Virginia, conference play started on New Year’s Eve with a game destined to take Coach Ryan Odom and his team out of their comfort zones.
January Term courses, the majority of which occur on Grounds or online, will begin Friday and end Jan. 10. Across the eight days, students are able to earn three course credits by studying a wide-range of subjects, with this year’s offerings spanning from public speaking to Slavic literature. Some J-Term abroad courses are also currently underway, taking place across the world including in India, Argentina and Australia.
The Board of Visitors appointed Scott Beardsley, current dean of the Darden School of Business, as the University’s 10th president Dec. 19, following former University President Jim Ryan’s resignation and an approximately five-month search. Despite having a long-term career in the private sector working in consulting, Beardsley shifted towards education leadership in 2015 and, more than 10 years later, will begin his position as the University’s president today.
Coach Ryan Odom is, amongst other things, an advocate for the ACC.
Over the course of its expansion these past years, the University has seen professors take a variety of stances on the use of generative artificial intelligence, ranging from complete bans to zero regulations. Karen Hao, an award-winning journalist who covers the impact of AI on society, gave a talk last semester highlighting how the University could better integrate AI literacy — an understanding of how AI works and what consequences exist — rather than simply using or encouraging it. Because there is no singular or correct approach in an educational world of individualized, class-specific policies, the University must mandate AI literacy training on the ethical, environmental and practical concerns for generative AI.
Virginia returned to John Paul Jones Arena Monday night following the holiday break to take on its next conference opponent, SMU. The Cavaliers (10-3, 2-0 ACC) beat the Mustangs (7-7, 0-2 ACC) in convincing fashion, 76-52.

The use of artificial intelligence avatars has emerged as one of the latest trends in the way AI is changing education. The Cognitive Science-Based Learning Hub program at the University — which teaches study strategies to first-year students — began using AI avatars as online teachers beginning in the Fall 2025 semester. As these various AI tools and models gain traction, the question remains — what role do AI avatars play in the future of education?
I failed an exam for the first time as a third-year in college. And the worst part? It was a class filled with mostly first-years.
