As one of the oldest public universities in the United States with a UNESCO World Heritage designation, the University has long had its page in the history books. What is often left out from its well-known past, however, is its connection to Black history — storied with deep roots in enslavement and segregation. The Virginia Guide Service has been working to change that.
Correction: A previous version of this article did not fully reflect the breadth of BGU’s mission and leadership structure. In addition to cultivating community and mentorship, BGU was also founded to support retention efforts of Black women at the University. The article has been updated to include this part of the organization’s mission, and clarifies BGU’s leadership model.
With students finally settled back into life on Grounds and big assignments coming down the pipeline, the last thing any student needs is the influenza virus ruining their academic experience. At least 40 of you freaks are already down with the sickness, and I bet there are at least 40 more of you out there right now coughing in the back of a lecture hall. Perhaps some of you are neglecting to use the AFC wet wipes and ruining it all for the rest of us. Thus, as a desperate final appeal to save the University from a Hoo Flu pandemic, I’m going to take the time to give you some of the most evidenced ways that you can avoid getting sick this flu season.
Virginia women’s lacrosse played its last away game of an early three-game road trip Sunday, facing off against Notre Dame in what was the Cavaliers’ (2-3, 1-0 ACC) first conference game of the campaign. The Fighting Irish (4-1, 1-1 ACC) held a lead going into the fourth quarter, but were unable to seal the deal against Virginia. The Cavaliers eventually pulled through to earn a 9-7 win in South Bend, Ind.

Virginia softball is off to a dominant start, racing to a 12-1 record through their first 13 games, not only winning, but winning big — four of those victories have come via mercy rule, already quadrupling last season's total at the same point in the year.

Coming off of a 7-0 sweep of rival Virginia Tech, No. 15 Virginia played its first home dual of conference play against No. 23 SMU, securing a competitive 4-1 win. Fielding the same lineup as they had on Wednesday, the Cavaliers (9-4, 2-0 ACC) took the doubles point over the Mustangs (7-2, 1-1 ACC), then built a strong enough cushion in singles to ultimately log their second ranked win of the season ahead of a handful of road duals in March.
Sitting at the intersection of 14th and W Main Street, Boylan Heights has been a staple of the Corner life at the University since 2008. As part-restaurant, part-sports bar, Boylan draws students and Charlottesville locals to experience its University-themed menu and abundance of TVs placed around its two floors, especially on game days.

Soft conversation and the clatter of dinner prep filled the Asian American Student Center Friday evening as students gathered for a joint Iftar and Shabbat event. Hosted by Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voices for Peace for the third consecutive year, the event brought together two sacred rituals — the nightly breaking of the Ramadan fast and the start of Shabbat, Judaism’s weekly day of rest — inviting students to share a meal, learn about one another’s traditions and build community across faith lines. Organizers of the event hoped the evening would serve as a reminder of how shared ritual can build connection in moments when communities often feel divided.
The “Visions of Progress: Portraits of Dignity, Style and Racial Uplift” exhibit — on display at the local Trinity Episcopal Church until March 11 — features a series of portraits capturing African American Charlottesville residents from the 1920s. According to John Edwin Mason, curator of the exhibit and professor emeritus of history, the portraits showcase the dignity and pride of their subjects amidst heightened oppression at the time.
Virginia men's and women's squash teams traveled to SquashSmarts in Philadelphia, Pa. on Saturday with hopes of coming out victorious against Trinity for the first time in program history — but both teams once again stumbled against the Bantams. In their final regular season matchup of the year, the No. 4 Cavalier men (13-4, 0-0, MASC) fell 7–2 against the No. 1 Bantams (15-0, 0-0, NESCAC). On the women's side, No. 6 Virginia (11-5, 0-0, MASC) lost a back-and-forth battle against the No. 5 Bantams (13-4, 0-0, NESCAC) with a final score of 5-4.
Virginia’s offense already showed extreme promise in its first two outings, where it averaged 15.5 goals through the help of the nation’s leading point scorer, junior attackman McCabe Millon, as well as sharpshooting senior attackmen Truitt Sunderland and Ryan Colsey. Saturday, a semi-new, highly anticipated name got in on the action — freshman attackman Brendan Millon.
When former Coach Brian O’Connor departed for Mississippi State last June, Virginia baseball entered a period of uncertainty — the kind the program had not faced in more than two decades. O’Connor, who led the Cavaliers to the 2015 national title, had become synonymous with the baseball program’s identity.
On a raucous floor at the KFC Yum! Center, Virginia executed its most impressive performance of the season to record its most ACC wins in 26 years, knocking off No. 8 Louisville 74-72 after a commanding final period, which ended in a back-and-forth thriller that was not decided until the buzzer sounded.
Entering the eighth inning Sunday against North Dakota State, junior utilityman Kyle Johnson was called upon to pinch hit.
