Members of the Virginia squash team competed in the CSA Individual Championships over the weekend, with six members from both the men’s and women’s squads making the trip to New York in hopes of bringing home silverware. The multi-tournament style allowed for multiple Cavaliers a chance to vie for their bracket’s top spot.
When I think of playing a game, a traditional board game like Clue or Monopoly comes to mind — ones that I grew up playing with my family. While I am a huge proponent of these classic choices, games are definitely not my first idea of how to spend a lively night with my college friends. Therefore, when my friend suggested hosting a game night, I was expecting to see the table full with those same games I grew up with, making for a relatively lackluster night.
In the summer of 2015, Virginia baseball was the king of the hill. After starting out as a No. 3 seed in the Lake Elsinore Regional hosted by UC Santa Barbara, the team shocked the world by winning three consecutive games to advance to the super regional. From there, they defeated Maryland in a two-game sweep at home and punched their ticket to Omaha. The Cavaliers’ dominance continued in Nebraska — the team won five out of their seven games to win their first ever national championship.
While many students use laptops and tablets for class notes, an increasing number of professors are choosing to prohibit laptop use in the classroom or embrace full no-technology policies this semester which also ban tablets. While each iteration is slightly different depending on the professor, the goal is often the same — increasing student engagement and performance in the class.
At its Friday meeting, the Faculty Senate announced a motion which was passed in December to secure long-term job commitments for general faculty. They also discussed the impact of recent presidential executive orders on the University and plans to protect academic freedoms under the new Trump administration. The Senate also discussed aspects of its proposed free expression initiative.
Located in the ravishing lobby of the Omni Hotel, The Conservatory restaurant serves New American small plates and entrées in addition to offering an extensive drink menu. With their Restaurant Week menu priced at $35 for a three-course meal — an appetizer, entrée and dessert — the bill for my friend and I totaled around $90, including tip. However, our meal did not reflect the high price — the restaurant left much to be desired in execution and taste.

The Incident, Amuse Bouche and The Whethermen — a triumvirate of prominent comedy groups on Grounds — joined forces Friday night for their debut performances of the semester. During what they dubbed the “Comedy Holy Trinity,” each group took the stage in their own style of comedy, featuring improv and comedy sketches.
As winter continues to torment us with dark and chilly mornings, I find my phone’s snooze button growing more appealing by the day. To save myself the embarrassment of sneaking into lecture a few minutes late, I have been driving around Grounds the last couple of weeks. Driving is faster, driving is easier and I have the car — I might as well use it. While this seemed like a great plan at first, as time has crept along, it’s appeared less and less ideal.
Badfish, an East Coast cult favorite tribute band to reggae rock legend Sublime, has just set off on their Gold Tour with a stop at The Jefferson Theater in Charlottesville this Wednesday. Each show they play is unique with their own setlist twists and spontaneous stage presence, but they all share the same purpose — to serve as a testament to the impact of an incredible band in an exciting new way.
After a 32-4 blowout in its first ACC match of the season, Virginia took a long trip out to Palo Alto, Calif., to play No. 16 Stanford. The Cardinal (7-2, 1-1 ACC), in all but three classes, boasted a ranked wrestler. With all that talent, it seemed as if Stanford simply overwhelmed the Cavaliers (4-3, 0-2 ACC) in a 34-9 drubbing, raising memories of No. 6 NC State’s Jan. 17 dismantling of Virginia.
The sound of rhythmic desi beats filled Newcomb Ballroom Saturday night as students gathered for the Pakistani Students’ Association’s third annual Khul Ke Nacho, the organization’s largest event. Khul Ke Nacho is a cherished PSA tradition that invites students from across the University to celebrate Pakistani culture in a vibrant atmosphere.
Every athletic program wants young contributors who hit the ground running and contribute early in the season, especially when their seniors get off to a slow start. No. 5 Virginia is no exception. After a shaky start and close win Saturday against Boise State, the Cavaliers (4-0, 0-0 ACC) jettisoned any doubt in an impressive win over No. 19 Alabama Sunday to qualify for the ITA National Team Indoor Tennis Championships in Waco and Dallas, Texas., Feb. 13 to 17.

In 2017, Carla Williams was hired as the University’s tenth athletic director. Seven eventful years later — including one national championship in men’s basketball, four in women’s swimming and diving, two in men’s lacrosse and two in men’s tennis — Williams signed a five-year contract extension in December 2024. Though the athletic director role is not a traditionally hot-button topic on college campuses, the decision to extend her contract has been met with unusually widespread criticism which misconstrues what has been a holistically successful tenure. Rather than being deserved, the current backlash against Williams speaks to a newfound and problematic culture of immediacy in college sports. This culture, which values short-term results over long-term growth, imposes unfair benchmarks onto athletic directors like Williams whose strength lies in their longer-term strategies.
With three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter Sunday, Virginia had clawed back. After trailing throughout the entire game against Louisville — often by double digits — the Cavaliers cut their deficit to just three points, and had possession of the basketball. They had held the Cardinals (14-6, 7-2 ACC) to zero field goals in the past four minutes. An electric comeback victory at John Paul Jones Arena was ripe for the taking.
