Before taking my University graduation photos, I spent hours designing the perfect graduation cap and picking the perfect dress. Some students may view these items as nothing more than graduation attire — for me, they represent a decision to let go of my lingering grief over the cancelation of my high school graduation. Through these items, I have learned to see my college graduation not as a way to make up for the past but as an event worth celebrating on its own.

In a university steeped in old traditions, few students witness the rise of a new one during their time on Grounds. From Lighting of the Lawn to Block Party, many students adopt University traditions that have been passed down from one generation to the next. But, for the past five semesters, some students have experienced the creation of a new tradition — the naked party.

Virginia faced off against Florida Sunday afternoon in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at Klöckner Stadium. The No. 5 seed Cavaliers (15-5, 6-3 ACC) fell to the Gators (19-2, 6-0 AAC) 13-8 as the visitors used a big 5-1 surge in the fourth quarter to run away with the game late.

Virginia’s pitching staff is not great, and that can be shown through a simple number — it surrenders a frustrating earned run average of 5.69 runs per game. Last season, that number was 3.81. It is not hyperbole to say that pitching failure is the primary reason that the Cavaliers are mathematically unable to repeat as division champions. Losing all three 2023 weekend starters to MLB organizations does not help — and could explain part of the pitching struggles in 2024 — but focusing specifically on the bullpen, a slight majority of pitchers have actually been with Virginia for multiple seasons. The experience is there and should be yielding positive results.

No. 10 Virginia’s five-game winning streak came to an untimely halt in this weekend’s series against No. 23 NC State. The Cavaliers (37-14, 15-12 ACC) bookended the weekend with costly losses to the Wolfpack (29-19, 15-11 ACC) in which the bullpen underperformed — a recurring issue this season. Though individual performances shone and Virginia picked up a meaningful win Saturday afternoon, the team’s postseason outlook remains in flux.

In the days after police forcibly cleared a pro-Palestine encampment near the University Chapel, a last-minute edit to a list of guidelines — from the Office of Environmental Health and Safety — related to the use of tents on Grounds has been the subject of questions and debate. According to University administrators, a document on the office’s website outlining fire safety regulations for tents contained an inaccurate clause that exempted recreational tents from permit requirements. University officials said the document was updated for accuracy, as official University policy requires all tents to receive permits prior to their use on Grounds. Administrators said the encampment violated this policy.

May 4, 2020 was like any other spring day — sunny with a breeze, just warm enough to be outdoors, with birds chirping and flowers blooming. But for me, it was extraordinary. It was the day I got into the University of Virginia. Of course, this was months after my high school peers — and those around the nation — had committed to institutions that would carry them through their next four years. I too had already committed to my only college acceptance, failing to realize how much I wanted to attend the University until after I received my deferral and my position on the waitlist.

The University’s Faculty Senate passed a motion at a meeting May 10 to call for a University-wide external review of the events on and leading up to May 4, when police forcibly cleared a pro-Palestine encampment outside the University Chapel. University President Jim Ryan and other administrators attended the meeting, where they answered questions from Senators, including questions regarding their decision to authorize the use of police force at the encampment. The Senate also discussed various senator-proposed motions regarding the events that transpired.

Graduate attackman Payton Cormier had a historic day to lead Virginia, scoring a program postseason record eight goals — the last of which enshrined him as the all-time leading goalscorer in NCAA Division I men’s lacrosse history.

During their time at the University, the Class of 2024 navigated several challenges, from the COVID-19 pandemic to the Nov. 13, 2022 shooting. Their class was the first to begin their time at the University amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, navigating a delayed move into University housing as well as a year with both virtual and in-person classes. Amidst these tumultuous events, students within the class rose to positions of leadership. As they created clubs and represented students through work in traditional student self-governance organizations, this graduating class demonstrated its resilience over the past four years.

Sweaty palms. Rigid, fighting breaths. Tapping fingers. Pretending to look at my phone which, obviously, had no notifications. Yes, I remember this all quite well — a personal nightmare. It was my first official staff meeting as one of the newly elected Arts and Entertainment Editors for The Cavalier Daily. I could not believe I was there. Neither could my body, as my profuse fidgeting and waves of nerves continued through the presentation.

Finals season saw University students across Grounds turn in essays, finish final projects or cram for exams. For many taking classes on Arts Grounds, however, their finals looked slightly different, as students showcased short films, performed dazzling dances and built larger-than-life theatrical puppets. With these creative assignments, students get the chance to dive into new disciplines, hone their crafts and demonstrate their learning in an entirely new way.

In contrast to what the April 25 editorial implied, it is critical to hold individuals who engage in hazing accountable for their actions. This is an essential step in preventing future hazing activities. Moreover, the University is actually doing a good job with education and has a great hazing prevention resource in the Gordie Center.

While almost a year has passed since I studied abroad at the University of Oxford last summer, glimpses of my time there have slipped into my mind every day since.
