The Brown University shooting Dec. 13 marked the 391st mass shooting of 2025 according to the Gun Violence Archive. Brown also joined the long list of schools and universities plagued by gun violence in 2025, including the Oct. 25 shooting at Lincoln University and the April 17 shooting at Florida State University. 2025 was also the seventh year in a row that experienced more violent shootings than days in a year, a fact that demonstrates both the rise of school-related shootings as well as the disturbing increase in gun violence generally.
Throughout the last eight months, the Board of Visitors has caught waves of criticism and appeals for change, all of which finally came to a head with Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s inauguration into office two weeks ago. Spanberger’s recent prompting of five resignations from the Board of Visitors follows a series of disappointments in the Board, an indirectly yet inherently community-facing governing body that has repeatedly fallen short of reassuring its own audience — particularly since former University President Jim Ryan’s forced resignation in July. Her actions represent an impending fresh start for the University after months of political pressure, community disregard throughout the subsequent search for a 10th president and overall uncertainty about the future. Therefore, Spanberger’s Board renovation should have been expected after the Board’s recent actions. Rather than deepen instability, this decision will swiftly begin the healing process for the University community following months of tensions with the Board.

It’s seldom easy to win on the road in the ACC — especially not in a marathon matchup exceeding the two-and-a-half-hour mark. The Virginia women’s basketball team proved its resilience Thursday afternoon at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, surviving Wake Forest 109-103 to bounce back from a heartbreaking overtime loss just days earlier.
Student Council met Tuesday via Zoom for their weekly general body meeting to pass a resolution supporting University President Scott Beardsley, while simultaneously condemning the lack of transparency and collaboration surrounding his appointment. Representatives also passed three pieces of bylaw legislation addressing a budget amendment, the restructure of the internal affairs committee and the expansion of oversight in the HoosConcerned website.
Three Cavaliers from both of Virginia’s squash squads competed in the CSA Individual Championships over the weekend, in New York, N.Y. — playing against the premier collegiate squash players from around the country.
Vivian Yang landed in Charlottesville for her official visit early in the summer, jet-lagged after some 21 hours of travel from Auckland, New Zealand. Final Exercises were in the University’s rearview mirror, and the streets and courts were quiet — only two-thirds of the coaching staff and none of her future teammates were there to greet her. She was quickly whisked away from the airport to see the Rotunda, taking in the sights on a warm summer evening.

To many students, the Student Health & Wellness pharmacy is the go-to locale for inexpensive over-the-counter medications and prescriptions to pick up between classes. Now, there is a new benefit. As of Jan. 21, Student Council has launched a pilot program offering free generic Plan B to all students at SHW Pharmacy.
Beginning this past fall, second-year students became the first cohort to enter the McIntire School of Commerce under its new three-year undergraduate program, a shift that moves the application process to the spring of first year instead of January of students’ second year. Students have expressed their appreciation for the extra year in the program to have time to better grasp foundational skills, but some say that it was slightly difficult to be the first class to adapt to the new three-year program.
Local cinephiles know that every October, Charlottesville’s Virginia Film Festival offers five days of riveting cinematic programming, from exclusive looks at upcoming releases to throwback screenings. However, they may be unaware that VAFF’s program continues well past its annual main event.
Sen. Aaron Rouse (D-22) introduced Senate Bill 49 earlier this month, following the beginning of the General Assembly’s 2026 Regular Session Jan. 14. The bill redefines the current provision that gubernatorial appointees — such as those to the University’s Board of Visitors — must be “appointed and qualified” to serve in their posts. The bill would instead require appointees to satisfy all statutory requirements, take the oath of office and be confirmed by the General Assembly before entering office.
The University’s longest-playing organist has spent almost six decades filling both the University Chapel and University Baptist Church with music. Barbara Moore has played the piano since she was six years old, and began taking organ lessons when she was 14. Now, she teaches as a professor in the music department, serves as the Chapel’s organist coordinator and is responsible for ringing the Chapel bell, a role that has placed her at the center of some of the University’s most meaningful moments.
Virginia men’s basketball authored one of the most dramatic comebacks in program history Tuesday night, erasing a 19-point deficit and outlasting a Notre Dame team that played its best basketball of the season. The game required two overtimes to determine a winner and tied the program’s largest comeback victory in its history.
On Jan. 12, Scott Beardsley was called to speak before the Education Subcommittee of the Virginia Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee, where he failed his first test as the University’s president. When asked why nine mentions of “diversity” vanished from his CV in 2025, he gave a non-answer — “Whatever my resume has on it now is what it says.” The University community would do well to take him at his word and closely examine his qualifications before falling in line.
While the University’s club scene prides itself on a variety of offerings, it can often feel dominated by exclusive pre-professional organizations flocked to by students looking for extra lines on their resume. Simply getting into these clubs may require a certain stilted image, stifling authenticity. HoosFits, a fashion-oriented club of student photographers, videographers and graphic designers that took shape in September 2024, encourages the opposite.The student group celebrates student fashion on Grounds, looking deeper into the unspoken expressions of individuality within one’s day-to-day outfit. They are most known for their Instagram slideshows that portray impeccably dressed students, showcasing a range of styles as a microcosm for the student body’s fashion. The handful featured on the page weekly are approached impromptu by the club’s photographers who pick out peers sporting experimental, thoroughly accessorized and carefully curated outfits.
The University’s John Paul Jones Arena housed a dedicated dining facility for student-athletes on the second floor of the arena, which shut down at the end of the Fall 2025 semester. Virginia Athletics attributed the shutdown of the JPJ dining hall to cost-saving efforts, though student-athletes have said this loss leaves a lack of food options and deprives the athletes of a community-building space.
