Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day or Liberation Day, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. In 2021, President Joe Biden declared June 19 a federal holiday, marking the date in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas received news of their freedom, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
After June 1 when longtime head coach Brian O’Connor bid farewell and packed his bags for the SEC, Virginia baseball was left in disarray. With a disappointing season in the near past and players entering the portal left and right, it was clear that a strong new hire was necessary to replace the iconic O’Connor. It took just nine days for the next leader of the program to be named in Chris Pollard, and he is the perfect representative to carry on the dominance of Cavalier baseball that occurred the past two decades. Pollard checks every box of qualities someone could wish for in a head coach.
The NCAA 2025 outdoor track and field season ended this weekend out west in Eugene, Ore. with 11 Cavaliers there to compete. It was not a particularly easy meet for anyone and was not quite as satisfying of an end as some might have hoped. Still, three Virginia athletes gained first team All-American Honors — senior Margot Appleton and juniors Gary Martin and Celia Rifaterra.
When students leave Grounds for the summer, Facilities Management gets to work. Renovating major roads and buildings where both foot, car and bus traffic frequent the most can be a challenge during the year and opting to do it during the summer is a way to minimize disruptions. 13 projects are ongoing or have been completed thus far, but the total number is subject to change.
According to legend, Robin Hood masqueraded around the forests of England with his trusty sidekick Little John with the mantra “steal from the rich, give to the poor.” While this story may or may not contribute to the namesake of prominent Corner restaurant “LittleJohn's,” this business — newly closed — was a remarkable departure from the Robin Hood ideology. The restaurant’s high prices made the sandwiches affordable for only the students with particularly deep pockets, or stomachs. However, this story of overpriced food is present all along the Corner in businesses like “Thyme and Co.” and “Roots.” For years, this was a successful business strategy. Until now — LittleJohn's closed this May, marking a potential shift in the economics of the Corner away from high, luxury pricing. Other businesses should heed the warning.
As new first-years gear up for orientation, it turns out that their University experience will miss out on one thing that many current students and alumni consider to be a cornerstone of the University’s Corner.
It sounds like an act of folly — sending a poll to 20 student sports writers, asking them to elect the most colorful coaches at the school.
Recently, there has been an upsurge in recreating animated films in a live-action light, with many of these films featuring new takes on their older counterparts. The most recent live-action release was the “Lilo & Stitch” movie May 23, which — like many of its live-action predecessors — received mixed reviews for missing the magic that its original possessed. While many of the live-action films have not originally been received by audiences the way studios hoped, they offer a look into intriguing adaptations that can possibly create refreshing understandings of familiar stories, for better and worse.

What started with an NCAA ruling in 2021 allowing student-athletes to profit from their Name, Image and Likeness has led to a dramatic shift in the college sports landscape. This shift recently culminated in the June 2025 House v. NCAA settlement that will enable schools to share their revenue with athletes beginning in the 2025–26 academic year. Known as revenue sharing, this new model allows universities to directly distribute up to $20.5 million annually to current student-athletes. Moreover, schools can continue to support athletes through NIL deals and pooled donor funds known as collectives.
On Memorial Day weekend, Walker Wallace rejoiced as the final whistle sounded and he became a national champion with the Cornell lacrosse team. And then he decided to transfer to a program that has never even come close to winning a national championship.

A new era of Virginia baseball was made official Tuesday, as Chris Pollard, formerly the head coach of Duke from 2013-2025, was named the sixteenth head coach in Virginia baseball history, and the successor to former Coach Brian O’Connor. The leader of a longtime ACC foe, Pollard is certainly a noteworthy hire. But the decision to hire Pollard goes far beyond the fact that he is a proven winner.
