As Women’s History Month continues in full force, acknowledging women’s contributions to music becomes essential, as does celebrating women-driven art. Women have often been sidelined within the music industry — often being snubbed by their male counterparts when it comes to recognition for their music. Nonetheless, the contributions women have made to the music industry are crucial.

With impossibly tall stair stepper machines, heavy kettlebells that resemble boulders, the ever-present sound of treadmills humming and weights clinking, stepping into the gym can be an anxiety-inducing experience for even the most athletic women.

The University has long been recognized as the number one public school for financial aid in the nation — 37 percent of its students receive federal aid, and it meets 100 percent of all demonstrated need. This status has been a cornerstone of the University’s commitment to affordability, ensuring that higher education remains accessible to students from all financial backgrounds. However, this distinction may now be at risk as sweeping federal cuts threaten the very programs that make such accessibility possible.

It’s a Friday night at the University. Your friends are texting about their date function plans, couples are picturesquely strolling the Corner hand-in-hand and Instagram is flooded with soft-lit margarita dates from spring break getaways. Meanwhile, you’re sprawled out in bed, halfway through your Chipotle bowl — no obligations, no one to impress and best of all, no emotional labor exerted. Bliss, right?

During the 2024-2025 academic year, more than five decades after coeducation at the University, all three major self-governance organizations — the University Judiciary Committee, the Honor Committee and Student Council — have been led by women this term. Harper Jones, Valentina Gonzalez and Laura Howard, heading the UJC, Student Council and the Honor Committee, respectively, credited their predecessors and mentors for influencing their leadership styles and said that this term’s all-female representation still has room for growth.

The University became fully coeducational in 1972, following a 1969 court order requiring full coeducation within three years. As a transitional period, the University began admitting a small percentage of women in 1970. This shift towards coeducation was a drawn-out process within American higher education — Oberlin College became the first university to open its doors to women in 1837 and the University of Iowa became the first coeducational public university in 1847. However, many private colleges remained all-male until the latter half of the 20th century, and the University was the last public institution to allow women when it began full coeducation in 1972.

Finally, after a series win on the road versus California, No. 23 Virginia officially had momentum. And that momentum was immediately squandered Wednesday against Richmond. The defeat was a frustrating midweek loss that could have served as an opportunity to tune up ahead of a weekend series versus Duke.

John Thomas Casteen III was born December 11th, 1943, in Portsmouth, Va., to John Thomas Casteen Jr. and Naomi Irene (Anderson) Casteen. He grew up in the Cradock and Deep Creek areas of Chesapeake and Portsmouth with his brothers Tim and Dennis and close family friend Bob Linton, graduating from Cradock High School in 1961. From his mother, he inherited a profound love of the musicality of language, including and especially the texture and cadences of the King James Bible. From his father, he learned a life-long love of the water, particularly the Chesapeake Bay and the Great Dismal Swamp. From his teachers in Cradock, especially Cora Mae Fitzgerald, who urged him to attend the University, he gained a sense of the inestimable value of public education — a transformative process of individual growth and democratic progress.

Don’t ever take no for an answer. This has been the driving motivator of Assoc. Commerce Prof. Sherri Moore’s journey. Moore knew from the age of six that she wanted to be a lawyer — not deterred, but rather roused, by the nay-saying and doubtful comments from her family and society. Ultimately, she would go on to serve as a trial lawyer for 20 years.

Nearly 20 years ago, Class of 2005 alumna Gretchen Zimmerman unexpectedly found herself in the middle of a campus cultural storm. As a pioneer Sex and Relationships columnist for The Cavalier Daily, she anticipated making her friends laugh, with the added bonus of slowly breaking down the stigma about women and sex. Instead, she was met with viral attention before “going viral” was a phenomenon — adored by some, shamed by others and ultimately left to cope with the weight of a reputation that followed her long after she stepped away from her column.

As Women’s History Month rolls around, the University is once again provided the opportunity to celebrate its students. During this time, it is imperative to acknowledge that Women's History month should not just be about intangible celebrations or rhetorical teaching but rather about actually creating change. The University is now given the chance to shed light on a complicated past, which only allowed women to matriculate 55 years ago. However, March is more than halfway through, and the events have minimally celebrated this important period — failing to both teach women’s history and implement tangible changes for the future.

In a move to comply with President Donald Trump’s Jan. 21 executive order, the Board of Visitors voted unanimously to dissolve the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Community Partnerships March 9. For students and organizations who depended on funding from the DEI office to hold events, it is unclear what this will mean going forward. Students broadly expressed discontent with the decision, even if not placing the blame on the University itself.
