With an undergraduate University community totaling about 13,000, it seems quite easy for a student to become lost in the crowd.
With such a diverse student population, the University welcomes a wide array of talents. Among this population are 16 students who make up U.Va. Di Shaan -- the University's co-ed Bhangra dance team.
November is usually not the most exciting month for University students. The weather gets colder, it becomes harder to make it to your 8 a.m. discussion and it certainly doesn't help that finals are fast approaching. But then there are Novembers like this one that prove to be the most exciting month of all, with elections, ballot boxes and candidates dominating daily life.
Having essentially crafted her own undergraduate and graduate career in interdisciplinary fashion, it is no wonder that Asst. Prof. Ellen Fuller calls both the department of Asian and Middle Eastern languages and cultures and the studies in women and gender interdisciplinary program home.
A raven sits on the windowsill, a stack of books beside it. In the corner stands a wooden desk, a book lying open on top.
The core of the American Studies curriculum is exploring one central question or issue about American culture and society by employing the methods and material from a variety of disciplines, according to American Studies Director Maurie McInnis, who is also an associate professor of art history.
When wandering in the Newcomb Hall basement, one might notice films being shown in the theater. Quite often, these films are ones created by students who are a part of the University's Film Makers Society (FMS).
With the recent violent crimes and burglaries in which members of the University community were victims, some question the degree to which students feel safe at the University. With such incidents as the shooting of a student on Wertland Street, multiple apartment burglaries in the Lambeth Field area, an assault and attempted mugging near Lambeth as well, the attempted mugging on Jefferson Park Avenue, the death of a recent graduate on the Blue Ridge Parkway and an assault and robbery at gunpoint on the Corner, there seems to be much potential for students to feel unsafe.
By Nicole Ponticorvo Cavalier Daily Associate Editor English Prof. Jessica Feldman said she can pinpoint the time her passion for modern literature developed -- after she read "Sailing to Byzantium" by William Butler Yeats and "Remembrance of Things Passed" by Marcel Proust toward the end of her high school career.
I didn't need to be at the University long before I realized that what my high school Italian teacher and University alumna Jaclyn Bevacqua told me was true: Every activity the University calls an honor is something that other schools would have to beg of their students. Nonetheless, the entire student population vies to be a part of any group that is labeled an honor. And finally, Mrs. Bevacqua told me that if you are chosen for half the positions you try out for at the University, you're doing pretty well.
Without fail, English Prof. William Fishback, a senior lecturer, can be found swimming at the AFC at 6 a.m. daily unless a swim practice stands in his way. With such dedication to a fitness routine, one could say Fishback never misses a beat, but in more than one aspect of his life.
One would think that growing up in the years of Disney movies such as "Lady and the Tramp," most college-aged guys would have gotten the point that what every girl really wants is to be treated like a lady. Yet an overwhelming aspect of male and female interaction at the University is centered not on candlelit dinners over spaghetti but, instead, on the "hook-up."
If you've ever taken "Religion in America Since 1865," you probably recall religious studies Prof. Heather Warren periodically strumming away at her guitar during class. The reason for Warren's display of guitar skills is not to give her rendition of a John Mayer ballad but to engage her students as she illustrates her main points.
By Nicole Ponticorvo Cavalier Daily Associate Editor If you've ever walked around Grounds or wandered into the Hereford Residential College, you might have stumbled upon a Dachshund named Sadie. At the other end of that leash would most likely be physics Prof. Lou Bloomfield who, if you've ever been in his class, probably greets you by name.
Sunny days in Tuscany, scrumptious Italian cuisine and weekends in Venice are three ways to describe Prof. Megan Marlatt's summer. Marlatt is going on her third year as chair of the studio art program within the art history department.
Orientation Leader (OL) -- (n.) a crazy, extroverted, University-enthusiast who can make any interaction an ice breaker, course advise into the wee hours of the morning and perform an 18-step dance routine to LFO's "Summer Girl" in style.
Walking through the old wrought iron gates of the University Cemetery on a sunny afternoon in April, students are met with a peaceful calm. A few yards away stands the gravestone of Edwin Anderson Alderman, the first president of the University, for whom Alderman Library is named. In the cemetery, the familiar names of Clemons, Bonnycastle, Tuttle, Minor and Newcomb are all interred next to the McCormick Road dormitories.
With approximately two-thirds of the undergraduate population at the University hailing from Virginia by law, it is clear that the majority of students live within reasonable proximity to their families. Living close to home can have its perks. For instance, a college student at home may enjoy private laundry facilities, family birthdays and home-cooked meals.
The University is known for churning out highly successful and downright noteworthy people. Edgar Allan Poe, Katie Couric, Tina Fey and Tiki Barber are just a few. Yet another alumnus is now making the University proud in the real world -- stand-up comedian Lee Camp.
Northern Virginia doesn't scream "distinctive" or "extreme" -- but it sometimes pro-duces students with an edge. Living just 25 minutes from the Potomac River, fourth-year College student Dave Hoffman developed a strong love for kayaking. While working at a local outdoors shop, he decided to purchase a boat and have his coworkers teach him how to kayak.
